I only use PCGS,NGC or NCS, and ANACS. I not trying to sound harsh when I say this but if I ever got a coin back from any grading service with damage, especially a finger print which tells me their graders don't know what the heck they are doing, that would be it. I would not care if the coin was worth $2.00 or $2,000. I would never submit to them again. I have never had any problems with the above services so far. I have used PCI before for a couple of submissions with no problems. Since they sold their company, I'll stick with the above 3.

Well you've been lucky then because there have been plenty of cases of coins coming back from PCGS and NGC fingerprinted as well. Not as many reports as there used to be, but it used to be a pretty common complaint. |

The fingerprint isn't necessarily from the grader, it could have been made by whoever was putting the coin in the slab. I agree either way it isn't good for the company, but it will happen rarely.

So if a coin came back with a finger print what would PCGS and NGC do about it? I would guess nothing?

I would think that their guarantee would buy the coin back from the owner.

#4 on PCGS Grading Terms and Procedures:
PCGS will exercise reasonable care in handling coins submitted for grading, re-grading, or re-holdering. However, if PCGS determines that the customer's coin was lost or damaged while in PCGS's possession, customer will be compensated in accordance with PCGS's standard procedures and not necessarily based upon the insured value customer assigned to the coin. In no event shall the total liability exceed the declared value of the coin.

In some cases they have said send it back and they have compensated, in others they have said it wasn't their problem or it was on there when it came in, or it isn't a problem, and in at least one case "What fingerprint, that's textile toning." So it's pretty much luck of the draw. It may vary depending on the value of the coin and who you are. |

Have there been any new reports about DCS? I saw there ad in the ANA money fair in Baltimore pamphlet and noticed they had a table at the show. I would have stopped by just to take a look but I did not see it until after I got home that night. |

Well I ordered a sample slab from them. I like the slab. The down side is I see it being able to be duplicated really easy. It's pretty plain. The prices are good IMHO. Plus they sent the sample no questions asked.

I just won an auction with a DGS slabbed coin. When it arrives here, I'll post some photos.
