Mike:
I still think it makes a great story. Perhaps the story could be
made more ambiguous ("a major auction house", and "a leading
certification service"). I think it shows the power of a forum such
as this.
By the way, I don't "blame" the auction house at all. It is standard
practice in the coin business to consider all PCGS/NGC/ANACS etc.
genuine.
No grading service is perfect -- certainly in respect to grading(!),
but also in respect to authenticity. They set aside monies to be
paid out for such occasions. I think it is important to follow up
with PCGS so they don't certify any more of these. If this hobby
wants to remain self-policing, it is our obligation to do all we can
to insure these steps are taken.
OK, I'm off my soap box now!
