<p>[QUOTE=&quot;geekpryde, post: 2013331, member: 36248&quot;]Interesting post by a well known Maine Dealer that I speak with, and who [USER=44004]@Mainebill[/USER] does some business with:&nbsp; Gerry Fortin</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.seateddimevarieties.com/DailyBlog.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.seateddimevarieties.com/DailyBlog.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.seateddimevarieties.com/DailyBlog.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>(emphasis mine)</p><p><br /></p><p><i>Greetings from Baltimore! I arrived fairly early yesterday and after checking GFRC inventory into Whitman security, took in the Stack&#039;s auction preview. Focus was on bust and seated offerings during lot viewing. <b>I don&#039;t know how to say this in a manner that is political correct....I was completely disgusted with many of the Seated coins in PCGS holder. I&#039;m not speaking about 1-2 random coins but rather the majority of the Seated quarter and and some of the Seated half dollars. These were not marginal coins but obviously cleaned bright pieces that had no reason to be certified by PCGS. All were in new holders.</b> Rich Uhrich was sitting next to me at the Stack&#039;s preview and had the same opinion. We went to dinner and wondered who submitted these piece to PCGS as <b>obviously if GFRC submitted them, they would be returned in Details, Cleaned holders.....</b></i></p><p><br /></p><p><i>Today&#039;s observations reinforces my decision to move away from PCGS and towards NGC. <b> Current PCGS grading on circulated seated material is all over the place</b> and the Stack&#039;s lot viewing took their variance to a new level. This can be so confusing to new collectors entering the marketing and reinforces the need to work with a trusted dealer. Today, I am submitting several pieces from the Maine Collection to NGC for show grading.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>Kind of what a few people have been getting at about PCGS in this thread and others.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
