<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scott490, post: 1319877, member: 28740&quot;]I agree that I learned a lesson, but going in it didn&#039;t occur to me that two very nice problem-free coins were going to come back body bagged. I was willing to accept the possibility of lower grades and had factored that into my gamble. What troubles me is the idea that TPGs don&#039;t really seem to have a rigorous, objective methodology when it comes to artificial toning. PCGS&#039;s use of the term &quot;questionable&quot; only reinforces this. I fear that they just look at a penny with a reddish tint and say &quot;huh, that looks tampered with&quot; and throw it on the body bag pile. What else can explain why they would do this with two coins that had been given a clean bill of health by NGC? I really do wonder whether collectors, especially penny collectors, can get a fair shake from TPGs nowadays. BTW I&#039;m not giving up and will resubmit, and will also post photos when I get the coins back.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
