damian1986 Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 I sold most of my silver but will continue to pick up bits and bobs Victoria onwards. I'm focusing on the coppers hopefully have a few to post soon. A couple that i have, probably fortuitously, retained: Quote
Paulus Posted September 10, 2016 Author Posted September 10, 2016 Keen on that circulation 1902 crown Damian! Quote

I've tried to explain as clearly as I can, but to no avail. Every time you post, your post count is incremented. Therefore, every single post you've ever made will show that new post count. As you will see, now that I have replied, my post count is no longer 1566. Quote
azda Posted September 15, 2016 Posted September 15, 2016 This bank token has the same mottled toning as Swannys Gothic Crown which CGS condemned as being cleaned, is this a CGS picture? Quote
Nordle11 Posted September 15, 2016 Posted September 15, 2016 What that why it was rejected? I thought it was because of the scratch (which Swanny says wasn't there before he sent it). It's a really nice token though Paul Quote

SWANNY Posted September 15, 2016 Posted September 15, 2016 (edited) It was rejected because of toning (Reject: Re-Toned) which I think they mean was cleaned at some time. It did come back with two extra scratches which I was taking them to court about, but they closed the company just before court case date Edited September 15, 2016 by SWANNY Quote

Yes, retoning would mean it was cleaned at some point and is now starting to retone......I think Paul'bank token is in the same category, merely an assumption Paul, but the toning on yours and Swannys Gothic is quite similar Edited September 15, 2016 by azda Quote
Nordle11 Posted September 15, 2016 Posted September 15, 2016 Gotcha, my mistake. So is this a rejected picture Paulus or did it grade ok? Quote

Acquired yesterday so I don't have it in hand yet, graded OK at CGS 78. And yes, these are CGS pics. And I don't know why it is underlining CGS! Edited September 15, 2016 by Paulus Quote
SWANNY Posted September 15, 2016 Posted September 15, 2016 I think with CGS , a good grade depended on what day it was graded, and if the grader got laid the night before.... Quote

I've just noticed that my first post on your bank token has now CGS underlined also, it wasn't like that when i posted the comment though, so something has suddenly changed Quote

So mistakes dont happen very often and to try and keep some consistency the coin is looked at by three graders....so thats not right. Thats a fact .....anyway each to there own . Time for me to get out of here Quote
SWANNY Posted September 15, 2016 Posted September 15, 2016 The chances of three graders getting laid on the same night , that would explain why CGS grades were so strict Quote

Thats a fact .....anyway each to there own . Time for me to get out of here @PWA 1967 i think Swanny has good grounds to be pissed off. His Gothic has been scratched, he claims it was done by CGS, now if this is correct, it has probably wiped £500 or more off the value of the coin. If the shoe was on the other foot and one of yours was damaged by ANY grading company without compensation i'm sure you'd be rightly annoyed, especially if you'd paid £2500 or more for it. A company that sells and grades coins should have done the right thing and compensated for the loss, or even bought the coin from him at market value, but they decide that shutting the grading side of it down and now won't receive a penny...... Of course this post should be elsewhere, but i'm replying to something said here and it wouldn't make sense in the CGS bashing thread. I'm not interested in arguing about CGS or anything else, but try and take the view from someone who's valuable coin was scratched (i won't say ruined) but it will have decreased it's value... 1 Quote

Common sense to all the regulars, but when I started it wasn't so easy learning the names of the TPGs etc. Just thought it would help newer members. Quote

Good one Matt, you could also add a short link to the initials TPG! Edit - ah, you have! Edited September 15, 2016 by Paulus Quote
