I hope at some point HRH says something to us over what happened with Jade coins attribution mess.

Of all the customer service problems I've seen since I collected my first pcgs graded coin back in the 1980's, I find this issue and the way it was handled to be the most troubling.

I don't collect attributed/pedigreed coins, they hold nothing for me but an unwarrented premium price, but it seems that the gaurantee that is the backbone of why pcgs started and is successful in the first place is hurt with something like this.

Perhaps as was stated earlier, their are legalities that non of us know about as to why David has said nothing yet, but at some point I'm sure we'd all like to hear his perspective of this as well as what was said in Jades thread that was found to be so offensive that his thread was deleeted and he was booted off.

I don't want to get booted, but I'm going to restate a comment I made earlier into the form of a question For Mr. Hall; Was Jade coin lying when he said he did try to settle this with you before he posted his thread here ?

This thread is not meant as a knock on pcgs, I just want to know the truth of what happened.

I don't think they grade to a higher standard. It's just a different standard. The PCGS standard. Neither better nor worse.

If a higher standard means that they stick MS-63 coins in MS-61 or 62 Holder to protect their butts is of no help to the hobby or the collector. If I go to sell that coin everybody will take PCGS grade on the holder to bid or buy your coin. If it is in fact a 63, even though undergraded YOU lose money.
