Had a wonderful Lincoln memorial MS with truly Neon wavy patterns of toning. I was certain it was natural. Experience and gut feel.

Sent it iin to PCGS and NGC once each. Both time bodybagged for AT. Shoot. Sold it raw AND disclosed the AT conclusions of the big two. Got like 5 bucks out of it.

Last week saw it in an NGC MS 66* Holder! It went for $150 or so...arghhh!

Any similar stories?

I had 2 nicely toned (not wild or anything) 1859 indians purchased from the same location at the same. Both had similiar patterns. Definately original based upon the source they came from and my opinion. Sent in one to PCGS - came back graded. Sent in next one a month later - bagged. Never tried it again - it is my new 7070 indian now.

Yes, I've had coins bagged that I later saw in holders for the same service that had rejected them on my submission. Call me paranoid...but I'm convinced there is a 'lower level of scrutiny' for coins submitted by larger customers of all TPG's. I think the collector/submitter faces an unspoken and unwritten higher level of scrutiny on their submissions. Nobody will ever admit it, but my anecdotal experience certaily leans towards that conclusion.

I never had that happen to me... I do not collect 'toners'... since most nowadays are AT anyway.... However, that being said, it would really PISS ME OFF.. if it happened to me. Cheers, RickO

Not true at all.
