1. Post a front and back image of your coin with a specific question about what you’re seeing or asking about and one coin per topic.
2. Please remove coin from the holder unless it’s US or an official mint case or unless it is graded by a grading service.
3. Images should be taken by a camera or cell phone camera, we ask that members don’t use images through a microscope screen.
4. Always start your own topic, please don’t ask about your coin or post your coin in someone else’s coin topic.
5. Do not send private messages about your coin unless an Admin ask you too and the same for sending emails through the board.
6. No spam. Do not post any links to your coin or other non-coin websites.
7. Always be respectful even if something makes you upset or you don’t agree with a member. You can always get a second opinion elsewhere. If you have an issue then politely ask an admin in an PM. PM’s are for issues, technical and personal, but not for coin questions (refer to number 5 on this list). Our community is not a soap box for complaining or drama, so please refrain from doing so here.[/size]

Re: Do Grading Services Market Grade Coins and Give Better Grades To Larger Dealers
Thanks Daniel. Seems to go along with human nature, which is what the graders are.
(Hope you're not putting a bullseye mark on your submissions.)

Re: Do Grading Services Market Grade Coins and Give Better Grades To Larger Dealers
Hum... not sure why you added that but if I was afraid of that then I would just keep my mouth shut like 99% of the rest.
We need reform in the grading service business. All of it was started by wealthy or well off coin dealers in the first place and to think the hobby can't do better than what we have is ignorant at best. (Not that you're ignorant, but a general statement).
I told the truth and backed by factual evidence.

Re: Do Grading Services Market Grade Coins and Give Better Grades To Larger Dealers
I should have included that I do agree with you.
But I guess I just don't trust them much. They have an awful lot of control over the hobby.
As collectors we just want continuity and consistency from them.

I am banned from their forum and they tried to have my comments deleted on another person's blog, plus I have heard other stories as well.
So I do know what they try to do. I can tell you agree but it's not like PCGS is the IRS. Now they can be scary!
