PCGS 大老板，David Hall, 对额如实说。。。。
PCGS 事件发生后，至今没有听到任何PCGS 的回音。
大家的愤怒慢慢在消失。 时间慢慢推移。 这事看起来会不了了之！
这不行！否则， 这事还会发生。
我们秋菊团行将出发。
第一分电邮已在路上。
看来， dragontw 也在看coinsky 看帖子。
送君一句： 君子爱财， 取之有道。 歪财发不得。

You have to go through all of the posts to see the pictures of the coins.
Basically, both coins (# 20172 and #20122), as I mentioned, graded MS 66 by PCGS were auctioned out early this month in Hongkong by Ponterio with hammered prices of $20,315 and $15,535. A few Chinese coin collectors immediately identified that both coins used to belong to a current PCGS grader, Mr. Dragon Liu. Evidently, the coins were both re-graded and were given significantly inflated grades. #20172 and #20177 were graded MS 64 by PCGS and by ANACS respectively before re-grading. The coins are remembered because Mr. Liu tried but failed to sell #20172 on 9/24/2009 and #20172 on 12/4/2006 at Coinsky, an internet coin trade website. Coinsky has the original posts pertaining to his selling.
From multiple numismatic websites in China, it seems that Dragon Liu has been notorious for his on-going trading of fake Chinese coins before and after his employment at PCGS. His internet store of selling counterfeit Chinese coins was eventually closed by Coinsky due to his ignorant practice. It is illegal to intentionally sell counterfeit coins in America and the dealer may end up in jail for so doing. Mr. Liu sleekly escapes legal consequence from both China and America by selling the counterfeit to China while being in America physically. It is appalling to many Chinese coin collectors that he works for PCGS and is introduced by the company as an expert on detecting Chinese counterfeit.
I believe that his detected misconduct could be the iceberg tip of much larger problem. In short, Mr. Liu hijacks the reputation of PCGS for his personal benefit. It has caused significant damage to PCGS, a supposedly independent agency, which provides fair and professional grading and authenticity service. I wish to bring these matters to the attention of your company. This is an issue of urgency and needs to be addressed before more damage occurs.
I understand that you and your colleagues may not be able to fully comprehend Chinese. I am more than willing to provide assistance. Please let me know if I can be of further help.
I am looking forward to hearing a response from you and your company.
