SWANNY Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 I am not unhappy with BIll , he defended the company to the hilt.. If anyone knows who the new owner is , it will be Bill Quote
PWA 1967 Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Good luck with your court case. You will have to keep us informed Can i ask why cgs as an AGENCY would be responsible for telling you ....The coin you bought was RANG Quote
SWANNY Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Just thought I would put up a picture of a "TANG" coin Comments welcome........................................... Quote
PWA 1967 Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Although maybe starting to retone Maybe not worth very much (as much as you paid) and possibly worth sending back to the seller ....sure he will give you your money back. If you ask nicely and put a smile on your face i am sure can be resolved Quote
SWANNY Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 And when I try to get the seller to take the coin back , how do I explain the damage to the coin caused by CGS ! I think we need to stop here , court date in September...... Quote
Peter Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Hope one of the big 3 from the States have got it ,employ correct staff and service customers US style. If they propose NORMAL SERVICES they can do one. Quote

The coin is real but been cleaned...unfortunately you think its been toooled Damage done by CGS ......what a load of TRIPE. Quote
Peter Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Good luck Swanny.I really do hope you get the right outcome. I would never trust them following what I saw them do to a 1865 1/4d.(Slabbed a heavily edged knocked example,coveniently hiding the knock). Quote
PWA 1967 Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Yes good luck Swanny. Maybe you will be on TV with Judge Rinder Quote

copper123 Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 To make the old outgoing management feel important??? LOL Quote
Paulus Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Bill knows nothing about the latest announcement, sadly Quote

Perhaps it was the idea of the new management, perhaps all their changes were coming from the new management. Will be interesting to find out who it is eventually Quote
Peter Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 LCAexit...shock horror.Maybe a remain protest at Sundays Midland. With the $/Euro so high against the £ internet auctions will face a lot of competion outside from the UK (and I don't mean ebay) 1 Quote

Unfortunately maybe a couple of people paid it. Out of order and really annoying . Sure its nothing to do with the business model moving forward ,more lets get as much out of it while we can .

Having said that, the fact the the website was closed down just yesterday by the new management for "restructuring" would suggest that they were not responsible for the previous changes. In any case "new management" could simply mean a new general manager (which presumably was Semra previously). It doesn't necessarily mean new owners or shareholders. The London Coins website is still claiming that that London Coins Holding owns 51% of CGS. Quote
