Looks like another E-Bay seller complaining that PCGS is tight!

This penny is a recent submission and received the tough, unrealistic scrutiny that PCGS is currently undertaking.
It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    What an idiot. He even quotes the Pops for a PR69 instead of a PR68. If you don't like the grade on the holder, crack the coin and sell it raw or shut up.

    Why the private feedback if they're all positives?

    Am I correct in noting that the slab number would indicate that it is indeed NOT a recent submission?

    Makes no sense. For many bidders, private feedback = no bid. And if they are so sure this is a slam dunk DCAM and perhaps a 69, they can always resubmit it.

    Or send it to NGC since it's a "DCAM PF68+ at any other service!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" image

    Some people like their privacy. Go figure...

    They must like lower bids for their stuff, too...or else they value their privacy so much that they'd rather get fewer bids for their stuff than divulge their feedback. Which, in this case, doesn't seem like anything to hide unless it was someone who slammed them in the comments while accidentally giving a positive... image

    So you wouldn't buy a slabbed coin from a Power Seller that has A LOT of Positive Feedback? OK, that's your option and the seller may not give a damn. Why do you think Ebay allows you to have "Private" feedback? Maybe s/he doesn't want you to see his or her purchases or what's been sold in the past...

    What privacy? What privacy?

    Finding out what an eBay user recently bought and sold is easy, private feedback won't hide that anymore. Outside of his business on eBay, what is a user trying to hide?

    If it were a potential rip and they had a legitimate return policy, maybe. Or *maybe* if they had a coin I had to have.

    But they are still less likely to get a bid, and if they get one from me, it's likely to be lower. And "Power Seller" status means nothing to me. Many ripoff artists hide behind the "Power Seller" label, and because they generate so much revenue for eBay they get away with it. (There are plenty of legitimate and reputable Power Sellers, of course, but I don't look at it as a seal of approval, only a seal of doing a lot of business.) >>



    (Edited to add: I've seen some of this seller's recent offerings. Only a 4-day return privilege on a raw Trade Dollar? Hardly sufficient, as it takes much longer than this to get it authenticated.)

    "IN GOD WE TRUST" on that coin looks as if it's lacking frost. Could that be the reason it's CAM and not DCAM? In other words, do letters count as well as the main devices for cameo/DCAM designations?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that this headline is a recurring Ebay strategy that I'm seeing certain coin sellers use to jack the selling price of their "mis-slabbed" coins. They claim the grade is incorrect hoping suckers (like me I guess!) will pay a premium thinking it can be resubmitted for a higher grade.

    Or maybe PCGS really is grading very tight right now.

    Russ, by "very tight" do you mean that a lot of these coins are coming back misgraded? Or were they "loose" to begin with and now are accurately graded? I don't know enough about the history of grading to understand what's going on.

    Thanks.

    This guy states....NOT PCGS........image

    in the title. Anybody who has been around ebay knows that is a no-no.
    You are supposed to say what it is, not what it is not.

    edited: Russ is correct, as usual. image

    Actually, he's stating it's not a PR68CAM.

    More unnecessary whining..... and it seems appropriate somehow that an ID of "wildbnch69" would have private feedback! image
    My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable !
