<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1944754, member: 15929&quot;]The ONLY reason folks rely so heavily on AND continually promote PCGS is the &quot;perception&quot; that they are a tough grading service.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reality is that PCGS &quot;wants&quot; you to believe this as it promotes their business and insanely high attribution fee&#039;s! Plus, it gains them a retail market share since if everybody believes that PCGS is tough then they&#039;ll pay higher prices for PCGS Products.</p><p><br /></p><p>My experiences range from &quot;why&#039;d they grade it that high&quot; and &quot;no way that was cleaned&quot; to &quot;why&#039;d they change it to a Monroe&quot; on my PCGS submissions. I have also gotten back some very tough ANACS Submissions as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>The bottom line is that folks need to learn their coins and stop relying upon PCGS to make their decisions for them. Yes, it can be very lucrative for small time resellers but to actually believe that one service is better than the other is just naivety.</p><p><br /></p><p>TPG&#039;s grade coins based upon &quot;opinion&quot;. &quot;Opinions&quot; can and often do change. Even within the same TPG.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the OP, his seller noted that the coin was over-graded. THIS, I believe as I myself have received over graded coins back from &quot;the Worlds Greatest Grading Service&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
