Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2667409, member: 112"]Ehhh - not as much as you might think. For one thing negative reports are plentiful, but they tend to "leave the radar screen" after about 2 days because posts on forums move down the list as new posts are made, and not everybody reads them. And most of the time, few ever see them again. For another thing, most of the coins that NCS are conserving are raw, so there is no lower grade factor. And when there is a no grade factor with a raw coin, which is more often than one might think, the negativity of that has nothing to do with NCS, meaning it's no fault of theirs - it's just a fact of life. But I certainly do agree with you about the power of word of mouth - to a point. A good example I can give you is that I have posting on coin forums about TPGs over-grading for almost 13 years now. And I pretty much post about every single day. And yet it has only been in the last year or so that people, widespread, have finally begun to believe it. For the first 10 years of that just about all anybody ever did was argue with me about it ! Ya see, people will only believe what they want to believe, regardless of how true something is.[/QUOTE]
