Results of Lithuanian submission

I got these back a few days ago. When I saw the results online I was surprised by the body bags.
In hand again I can see what they mention. As far as grades I am glad the coins I felt were strong did well.
I am happy to have this set started as they are my only world coins. The couple I purchased from German Coins
(Ron Guth) graded better at PCGS then when sold on their website. This submission will certainly help me make
better choices in the future for purchasing and submitting.If anyone is interested in pics of any particular coin,
graded or bagged let me know.

    While I have no doubt that Ron Guth, President of PCGS, did not unduly influence the grades you received, your experience is a perfect example of why those who run grading services should not be dealing in coins. Without personal knowledge of the integrity of those involved, the situation would appear to stink to high heaven.

    While I agree a possible conflict of interest I would have taken it the coins
    were conservatively graded on the site when sold. They were only $30-$40
    coins. I don't feel there were any gifts here.

    You did very well with some of these. I am collecting the same set, though I'm only about half done.
