<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EyeAppealingCoins, post: 3324758, member: 96749&quot;]I disagree.&nbsp; The guarantee was strong and fairly enforced until gradual encroachments started to limit its scope around 2008-2009 around the time that the coin market first started declining as did submissions and PCGS revenue.&nbsp; I seem to recall the first changes coming after PCGS had to make a big payout for a PF69 RD IHC that developed a spot and a PF70 DCAM memorial wheat cent that costs thousands.&nbsp; It began with copper color and soon more and more encroachments were made.&nbsp; The &quot;three point&quot; grade swing mechanical error was added after PCGS publicly repudiated a MS70 Ike right before it was going to be auctioned off.&nbsp; I don&#039;t see any evidence that there were flagrant abusers on a wide scale necessitating the changes.</p><p><br /></p><p>The fact that the original language may have been poorly drafted from PCGS&#039;s business standpoint does not justify retroactive encroachments against legitimate warranty claims.&nbsp; And a coin overgraded by three or more points was never originally included as a mechanical error.&nbsp; Indeed, at the height of grade inflation and color bumps I have saw more 3 point grading interval swings than I care to admit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
