b) Do not trust the grading that much after I saw them grade a killyou, satori chips and fake coins.
This just came up in a different forum about regular silver coins.
Short version:
Do we need a "graded reliable" and "graded unreliable"
Long version:
Do we need / should we have a discussion out here in public, probably on a separate thread about the "quality" or "accuracy" of coin grading houses in regard to cryptos?
If we know "A" will grade something that has been driven over by a UPS truck with a MS65 but "B" will kick it back to you with a comment of *hell no* scribbled on the receipt should this information be more accessible?
As krogothmanhattan said about checking the load of a coin. Caveat Emptor! BUT, if without digging through 100s of posts it becomes almost impossible. Even with a bit of digging I still don't know who graded the killyou coin.
Dave's logic behind making this more public --> Anything we can do to help remove scammers is good. Anything we can do to make scammers lives more difficult is good. If a new person does not know and does not look to find out that's on them. If they don't know and we do but don't tell them and make it difficult to find out, that's on us.
Counter argument --> We are not your mom. It's not our job.
Sorry for the rambling, but someone on the silver forum just did a test with PCGS grading and it ended...poorly...lets leave it at that.
