Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 06/22/2022 5:31 pm I found an ebay listing that is being used to say that PCGS is swapping submitted coins for different coins. The seller lists a number of things that happened, along with PCGS replies to his questions. He even says that PCGS may stop grading coins. 284809083379 ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 06/22/2022 5:39 pm Looks like some lint on the slab. And is that a Washington quarter in the last few photos? Even if PCGS did swap the coin, there is no reason why this coin is more valuable than the next. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?

cointagous Pillar of the Community United States 1143 Posts	Posted 06/22/2022 6:25 pm Strange story to go along with this supposed rarity. The double holed quarter is also a purported rarity. https://www.ebay.com/itm/284857156802 Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96514 Posts	Posted 06/22/2022 6:27 pm What is he babbling about? I highly doubt that PCGS swaps coins, each order is tracked and covered by cameras at every point in the grading process From arrival and initial opening to slabbing and re-packaging for return. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

dunkleosteus430 Valued Member United States 68 Posts	Posted 06/22/2022 7:38 pm What bugged me were the typos. Did anyone else see how he spelled "Membership"? Also the all-caps. I agree, though -- maybe the coins looked different in the holders, or, as is usually the case, the TrueView doesn't look exactly like the coin viewed by the naked eye. Just a quick question -- what does this this thing mean? ---> Edit: Nevermind. Beating a dead horse. I see it in a lot of "Blah blah blah error" discussions with parking lot coins.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19171 Posts	Posted 06/22/2022 8:50 pm An interesting 'stream of consciousness' listing. Seller would make a great Air Traffic Controller. Report this Post to the Staff
LuckyPunk New Member United States 48 Posts	Posted 06/22/2022 10:35 pm Holy cow, that was tough to read,lol. I was hoping someone else saw that. Every third word was spelled INCORECDLIE. Seems like a nut. The interesting part was when they claimed that PCGS actually gave them a settlement offer. I wonder what it was? Imagine the emails the seller sent to them...ha. $35K seems a bit high. Report this Post to the Staff

Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 06/22/2022 10:54 pm Wow that was a tough description to read. Even if the coin was swapped out it doesn't make it special imo, and 30k... Pass. Report this Post to the Staff
