What this is -- a sham
STAY AWAY FROM PCGS UNLESS YOU LIKE GETTING RIPPED OFF ~!!!

GET IT STRAIGHT:

This is the true meaning of P C G S (crappy grading company)
P-ocket
C-hange
G-rading
S-ervice

PCGS HAS THE WORST REPUTATION ON THE NET, CORRUPT BUSINESS PRACTICES, ENGAGES IN ANTICOMPETITIVE PRACTICES, YOU WANT IT GRADED HIGHER, YOU PAY THE BIG BUCKS -- AND YOU GET RIPPED OFF WITH THAT SHAM OF AN OUTFIT'S GRADING PRICES

RIPOFF IN ACTION? ABSOLUTELY
EXAMPLE: SHIPWRECK COINS -- PCGS CLEANS COINS (OR SENDS THEM OUT TO A THIRD PARTY) AND THOSE FRAUDSTERS WON'T EVEN REPORT IT ON THEIR SLABS THAT THE COIN WAS CLEANED.

ABSOLUTELY - PCGS IS A RIPOFF AND STAY AWAY FROM THOSE FRAUDSTERS.
THEY HAVE MADE COUNTLESS ERRORS IN COIN GRADING -- AND PCGS SUCKS.

i am ANNOUNCING THAT PCGS is as shady as the rest. No one can explain why those thieves won't identify a cleaned shipwreck coin as being cleaned. Anyone care to explain that bull crap?

That's odd. I thought that PCGS was one of the two best grading services. It's unusual to hear such vehement complaints about them.

I just sent a bunch of coins off to Dominion to be graded. They seemed to undergrade. Many brand new, straight from the mint, never-been-touched coins came back as 67s and 68s, much to my disappointment. They did however, grade and slab some of my 'cleaned' coins that NGC just returned in body bags.

I recently had a UK coin-set graded by PCGS. A UK Sovereign Set of great sentimental value, it had been presented to me by the Deputy Master of the Royal Mint himself, Roger d' L Holmes. The set came back with the 5 Pound Gold coin now exhibiting some foreign substance smeared across the reverse side above the cameo of St. George. I complained to PCGS, they repeatedly dropped the ball during the follow-up, failing to notify me about having received the coin in question back for inspection, not returned calls, etc. (1 of their staff even had the gall to claim I might have done this) & when I had had enough and told them politely so the president Don Willis: cancelled my friend's membership (who I had submitted the set through - check PCGS contract - notes 3rd party coin submission) with NO REFUND OFFERED and sent the coin-set back as is. Note: the 5 Pound graded PF69 Deep Cameo. If the choice came down for me to submit my coins through either PCGS or a banjo playing monkey, I would go with the monkey.
