Nah, I know some people have gotten nice upgrades through reconsideration.
Of the coins I sent, I was only really surprised that one of them didn't at least get a plus. It was an absolutely gorgeous 1925 SLQ in 63FH. The others were a 1965 SMS cent that I thought deserved CAM, a 72-S Ike in 68+ that I thought might be able to sneak into 69, a toned 55 Proof Franklin that deserves a CAM, and a MS63 1921 Peace that looks like a 64.

Sounds like a pcgs racket
I see that you're very careful not to jump to conclusions or make unfounded accusations.
Well, we've been attacking the judgment of CAC, why not do the same to PCGS? It's not like they are our host or anything.
In my humble opinion, in order for PCGS to have the stellar reputation that it does, reconsiderations SHOULD BE rarely successful. If coins were constantly changing grades, then it would call into question the reliability of their opinion on both the original consideration and the reconsideration.

Are you trying to get yourself banned?

True I withdraw that pcgs racket statement. I don’t really know about consideration success rate, just figured the grading services always looking for more ways to make money from collectors
…back in the day, I was at the PCGS grading class at LBE and David Hall said every single reconsideration hit his desk…don’t know how long that lasted but I thought it was cool

Here's the order if you are curious, it was late 2018 that they ran the special. 3 of 5 have trueviews. I sold that Ike on GC and it did quite well.

Sorry my apologies statement was rash and off the cuff. Just seems like everyone wants to make extra money off collectors. I withdraw that statement
Why would you want to have your coins upgraded?

When collectors profit, it is noble. They are blessed creatures unlike businessman who are servants of Satan.
