ICCS Graded 1914 10-Cent - Your Thoughts?

Coinplus....There are reasons why it was changed back at my request. Headers of threads should not be changed randomly especially if they can potentially have future ramifications. There is nothing stopping you or anyone else to start a new thread on the topic.

My question is... has anyone from ICCS been contacted about this specific "blunder" and if so what was their comment?

I understand that saying they don't exactly have a presence on the internet is an understatement so they may not even know of this website discussion thread.

AgCoin, you can be assured this site is monitored closely by all grading companies, it's a pro-active way to help stay on top of their game. IMO of course but that would be a smart thing for any such company to do.

Perhaps they do not have an internet website, but there is absolutely internet access on the desktop.

Even if they are now aware of the issue, what can be done about it now?

With Walmart or my local pizza place, I can understand a mistake. I'd get over it pretty quick. But this is the difference between a pricey coin and a counterfeit worth nothing. I suppose the owner COULD sell it without saying anything but the fact that it was posted here leads me to believe the owner is of good moral and that will be a highly unlikely scenario. I don't know the owner personally but assume his efforts to educate the rest of us with this coin is an indication of honesty.
The fact that the company that graded it was said to be less than thankful when their mistake was pointed out, and from my understanding, has made no effort to accept responsibility, makes this more than just a "mistake".
When I screw up at work, there is repercussions. The credibility of a grader that grades fake coins should be on the line each and every time they grade a coin. I'm not saying have the grade go a certain way, high or low, just make sure it's a real genuine coin.
I have never had anything graded but after hearing this story, I'd lean towards another company. That's just me.

Sorry, M D, my kid touched "submit reply" before I finished writing, resulting in "with". I've added to above.
I agree that mistakes will happen from time to time. But own up to it and do what is right to correct the problem, if possible
. I don't know all the details but it doesn't matter since I'm an outsider looking in and it doesn't involve me.
The bottom line is, there are examples of coins that are really good fakes. Good enough to fly under the radar of at least one grader. Perhaps the others would have missed it as well. That should be the focus.

I do know Paul(the coin hunter) personally, we've had many a good chat in his store, I do hold high standards and yes Paul is of the same character as you have all seen, hence this thread he has shared with the community.

Perhaps at some point ICCS will offer some kind of reply here, and by rights they need too. If they really want to take care of business. If they don't then they are sinking their own ship.................and I'm pretty sure that's a road they would not want to venture down.
