<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 344237, member: 8033&quot;]Hoo Boy!</p><p><br /></p><p>I got some strong opinions on this one!</p><p><br /></p><p>First I want you all to know that I respect your opinions cuz most of you have been really good buddies of mine. Disclaimer aside here goes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Daggarjon,</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry, but there is NO excuse for PCGS to even CONSIDER slabbing these. THESE ARE THE EXPERTS AND TO EXPERTS A SERIAL NUMBER IS CURRENCY 101. If they miss that they did not pass and should no longer be employed by PCGS. SGS might hire them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Why do I feel so strongly about this. Well, Gatzdon nailed it when he titled the thread. Suppose one of us does the same thing and it comes back &quot;body bagged&quot; (as it should). Can we then complain that &quot;it was fine for the other guy&quot;. They just opened up a new door to scamming.</p><p>These notes ARE altered as they did NOT come from the BEP that way.</p><p>Yes, they are human and we all make mistakes but this one is just a no brainer to someone that is paid big bucks and supposed to be an expert. PCGS should issue an apology and take some lumps. They deserve it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now Jack,</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the idea of cutting off center. Well it&#039;s been done a lot. Fantastic errors! Most sellers include it somewhere in the auction, many times buried in text in fine print. Currency &quot;geeks&quot; complain about and report these listings.</p><p>Just like coins Jack. Scams are out there and it&#039;s another area to clean up.</p><p><br /></p><p>Numbers,</p><p><br /></p><p>I know you know your stuff but sorry I don&#039;t agree. You&#039;re right though this isn&#039;t a mistake it&#039;s a TRAVESTY.</p><p><br /></p><p>Heritage auctions I&#039;ll be a bit more lenient on but not much. How much does that outfit make in a year? Perhaps they need to hire some people that know specific areas. You know - like a currency guy to do the currency.</p><p>Don&#039;t just read the slab and come up with superlatives.</p><p>Seems they didn&#039;t though as it was consigned and they did make a REAl good point of backing out of any responsibility there.</p><p><br /></p><p>Gatzdon,</p><p>You, YOU were the one that got me going! Good job I&#039;m afraid.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
