muddler Pillar of the Community United States 7187 Posts	Posted 12/01/2011 5:02 pm I ran across this listing giving a UNC detail. When did PCGS start this and will they detail grade a cleaned coin now? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1888-Proof-...em45fecf4c36 Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 12/04/2011 5:06 pm Yes it's recent, due to the 1000's of complaints that for the high cost to grade a coin too many came back in a "body bag" with no real explanation as to why. I sent in 10 dollars all cracked out of PCGS holders 8 of them were bagged - no grade. I pretty much quit using them after that episode, and now use ANACS for self-submissions. I'll still buy a coin in any TPG's holder as I buy the coin not the holder. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

satxwd Valued Member United States 321 Posts	Posted 12/11/2011 7:46 pm They under grade in my opinion. I've seen so many nice coins graded at 63 or 64. It's crazy. And what is a 61 or 62? What's that all about? Report this Post to the Staff
epop Valued Member Greece 425 Posts	Posted 12/12/2011 01:43 am they started giving detail grading in Paris , during grading session in Oktober. Me fellow PCGS dealer over here said to me that their score in details grading versus numerical is 50-50. Report this Post to the Staff
satxwd Valued Member United States 321 Posts	Posted 12/14/2011 11:44 pm I've seen some PCGS coins certifies as "genuine" so I guess so. Personally I have no problems with cleaned or damaged coins being certified as long as they are labeled properly. I collect British hammered coins from the 1300's- 1650's. Believe me, most coins have been cleaned somewhere along the line. I still want them authenticated. I use NGC though. Report this Post to the Staff
