I wasn't really giving PCGS any credit papeldog, just pointing out that it is a monumental task to be expert in all of the coins they grade and attribute. You are right though, if they want to be the #1 grading company, they are going to have to do a better job of getting the right people and training them to be more knowledgeable. If they don't have qualified people to attribute certain varieties, they would be far better off to just not do that and stick to grading (which is another issue that people disagree on).
It's not really an issue for me because I keep all of my coins raw, but it fascinates me how many people are caught up in having coins in slabs and "professionally" graded and attributed. They deserve to have a company they can depend on because as you said they are "paying big dollars" for that. Like it or not, it's a big part of the coin market these days.
As for the coin that jdmern has that was attributed wrong, I think PCGS should be held to and make good on every point of their guarantee that applies. Before they will do that, they have to admit they were wrong or be proven wrong.
I don't know what step is next in that process since they have already got it wrong twice. I expect like most big companies, the process will discourage most people before they get resolution. If somebody at PCGS would just read this thread, they would have links to every resource they need to correct their mistake.
Are you going to try again jdmern? I hope you don't get stuck with a loss on the coin. We're all behind you on this.
