PCGS Customer Service says....

Smittys

If a coin is BB'd for cleaning it is authenic.
They said if it was "not real" it would be BB'd for that instead.

I'm sure we can absolutely rely on the word of the random CS person with whom you spoke. Afterall, they've never been incorrect in the past.

If it's not in writing, it didn't happen.

What if it is a cleaned counterfeit?

Sounds like you work as a Medicare auditor!

Hopeless cynic.

Even if this true, you could easily open the body bag and replace the cleaned authentic coin with a cleaned fake. As a result, the bodybag still provides little in the way of protection against buying a fake.

So what you're saying Smitty is that you believe my 1878-CC Trade Dollar which PCGS returned in a BB as having been cleaned, with a notation on the label of the weight(within specified tolerance), is genuine. Even though ANACS examined it subsequently and designated the coin a counterfeit. So how much do you want to pay for my cleaned genuine EF-45 1878-CC Trade Dollar? How about, let's say oh about bid minus $500 for the cleaned surfaces. I'll be happy to take your Grand for it.

Whew! That's good to know, and quite a relief.

That's not what he's saying, it's what the random CS person said. He's just the messenger.

The PCGS guarantee doesn't apply to body bags. Take it for what that is worth then.

CS also says freebie submissions from joining take 21 business days, but 3222586 has been there since 8 March....

And HRH has said the opposite. So I guess the CS guy is calling DH a liar.
