It is unusual for the principles of a major auction company to rain down insults on a poster, for disparaging remarks about a coin they are selling. It's hilarious, but I also have a gut feeling the original poster accomplished the task he set out to do.
Colonel Jessup - Moral Superiority ???
Now you sound like James Comey ....He is morally unfit
And to Colonel Jessup I say ......You can’t handle the truth !
"I would not be convicted by a jury of my peers."
And I'll leave it to someone who likes me more than you do to emojify the punchline/song title. Ambiguously
There's moral ambiguity and there's narcissistic numbness, and here we have hope retching at the world as it is.

Need the following OBW rolls to complete my 46-64 Roosevelt roll set: 1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S. Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!

I believe the correct medical diagnosis is Cranial Rectal Inversion:
"A medical condition where a moronic person has their Cranium lodged/inserted through their own Rectal cavity. The Cranium can get as far as the end of the Duodenum, which has been cited in a number of cases. Often, the condition is rendered temporarily, but sometimes the disorder can be lifelong and permanent. When treated, the patient may need the Perineum sutured from the initial Cranial penetration of the Rectal orifice.
Many people with Cranial Rectal Inversion live their lives oblivious to the fact that they have the condition. Early prevention is vital. Talk to your doctor today if you think you may present any symptoms CRS."
Some refer to overgraded slabs as Coffins. I like to think of them as Happy Coins.
Back to the real issue: PCGS Guide for MS65RD 14-d is $14,500, about half of what it was a decade ago since gradeflation has ballooned the census for 65's. Then out of the blue PCGS (who has not made a 66 in a decade) crosses an already infamously overgraded NGC MS66 at a MS66+, which would be a grade worthy of a $150k sale if the coin med the standard. It doesn't. There are better PCGS MS65's. There are better NGC 66's that PCGS won't cross. I would have only given this coin a 50-50 shot at crossing at a downgrade of 65 - not an upgrade to 66+. Yes, I've seen it in person on more than one occasion.
I don't find fault in the auction companies. They are their to promote consigned coins. I won't get into "fake sales" here, because that is a subject unto itself.
PCGS does get it right in these cases too. I had an FE in NGC 66, I thought should cross. It was very, very close. I submitted it three times an no cross over. I believed in the coin so I cracked it and sent it in and it came back 65+. Probably the correct grade, even though I would have preferred a straight cross.
For all the gorilla dust here, there is the other side. I have seen (and felt) dealers publicly trash coins I have auctioned because I didn't offer the coins to them first. That's not right either.
I have also stood right there and personally witnessed Stewart turning in a PCGS coin for downgrade, not asking for the cash difference, but simply because the coin was overgraded, and he wanted the pops to reflect accuracy, and I'm sure to protect the value of the ones that were properly graded.
Personally I'm done until after the auction. Let the chips fall where they may.
@STEWARTBLAYNUMIS what is the right grade for this coin? The grade it would sticker at in your opinion?

Yah, I’ve downgraded coins to the proper holder too. What I haven’t done is badmouth multiple coins publicly while bidding on them. And then pontificate about how what I say is gospel, knowing all along I was bidding to buy the coins while talking them down.

You know we used to just call these "entombed" and move along. Actually Stewart has a better census and ranking of key dates than you will find in the pops or anywhere else. He knows practically every coin and where most all of them are. I'll see it again in NO just out of morbid curiosity when I go through lot viewing.
