Mishandled notes..

[serenitystan]

Never give a mug an even break..Submitted a pair pristine notes through a dealer to PCGS gold shield. Notes came back with stains...Vert no 38243493-4..Will never again use this Dealer or PCGS gold shield grading service..Have sent my notes to PCGS currency for years Direct and never had a problem..Cannot post pics of notes when bought from Ebay seller as the pics have expired..Trouble is even if you do have the original pics and you send your notes to a dealer who then sends then to PCGS and they come back with light brown stains,you have not got a leg to stand on..I always use cotton gloves when handling notes. I wonder if these so called PRO'S do..Anyway that's my WINGE for today... :zomby: :s :huh:

Lesson learned .I always take good quality high res photos of the stuff I send away not that it would make a lot
of difference unless you wanted to make a big deal of it legally but naming and shaming would be helpful

Which dealer did you send it through? I'm sure the dealer would try and help?

Not saying the people at Imperial coins Hamilton,PCGS gold shield grading,customs or little red riding hood did it..But what i can say about Imperial Coins is as i will not be dealing with them again. Is that i have seen two of there people handle notes without gloves..One genius was rubbing his finger over a note to feel for raised ink,holding the note up to a ceiling light in his bare hands and telling the owner it's an AU..Hopefully my complaints will enlighten the owner/manager to issue+ police cotton gloves..Have talked to the Manager who insures me that all his people use cotton gloves,which is just a load a bullshit as i have seen him handle a note without gloves...Will renew my membership with PMG-LCG and move on...God grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change. Courage to change the things i can. and WISDOM to know the difference...

Saw a little note handling at the Sydney Money Expo and not a glove in sight.  :dodgy: 

At least the RAM staff who were organising the counterstamps were wearing gloves  :good:
