[QUOTE="The Half Dime, post: 26225907, member: 153164"]I hate coming across "Kool-Aid drinkers" on forums since most of them act like they're better than everyone else since they collect a certain type of coin, often PCGS holdered, then pat themselves on the back for having a coin to show off that some dealers could get in a heartbeat. I read the comments on the CU forum about CT from 13 years ago, and some people were calling us the Kool-Aid drinkers, and saying "when they're ready for the big leagues, send 'em over here". That alone tells you what the mood of the forums are, and I've never even used CU. I agree - that is one beautiful coin, sounds like PCGS didn't want to fool with grading it but did it for the money. I'm glad you were able to get ANACS to remove the lacquer, since that shows what kind of company they are - an underrated one. I think the Classifieds are now 10% off for all graded coins..... LOL, only on CT! :wacky: But yeah, I've heard that the CU forums are extremely PCGS biased; from my visiting there it seems that there's not much to be learned. On here, different people can teach you all kinds of stuff. I think they tend to forget their own rules and warranties.... in the sense of Walmart, likely 'yup'. ;)[/QUOTE]
