TSF is the largest independent English speaking worldwide Precious Metals forum in the world. There are currently over 16,690 registered members. We have a wide range of industry specialists and dealers on the forum. We are very proud of all of the members here that regularly provide helpful and informative information for others and go out of their way to help out fellow members of TSF. We are also likely the fastest growing, take a look at our statistics for yourself:
 
Overall 2021 Statistics:

TSF remains one of the most active communities online for people discussing precious metals and it's still growing. 

11,673 new topics started on The Silver Forum in 2021. That is the equivalent of 31 new topics per day!

101,259 new posts were made on The Silver Forum in 2021. That is the equivalent of over 277 new posts per day!
3490 new member registrations in 2021




Prize Draws:

As well as 12 months of Premium Member Prize Draws, each giving away 1oz of silver to a lucky winner there was also over 24oz of additional silver prizes given away. There were also a lot of charity auctions ran by our members to help raise money for causes that are close to their hearts as well as other charities. We hope to increase the number of Prize Draws and draws to promote TSF as our budget allows. 
 
 
2021 Trade Statistics:

A core part of TSF is the trade section. Many Premium Members have reported saving more than the cost of membership simply by the savings on the items they have purchased from other forum members. Many members also prefer the personal touch of dealing directly with other members. As well as the other listed benefits, Premium Members also get to see the trade listings 3 days before standard members, and with many if not all items that are priced competitively going within this time frame it is worth upgrading to get first look at this items for sale.

7927 trade topics were started in 2021. That is over 21 new trade listings per day. Some of these were wanted listings, but with the majority of ‘for sale’ listings containing multiple items and some containing extensive collections for sale as individual items, it means the items listed for sale far exceed this number. That is over 660 new trade listings per month! This arguably makes TSF’s trade section the largest precious metals trade section of any forum or group.


Some other notable things that happened on TSF in 2021:

- We released a TSF branded NGC label & partnership with Coins of the Realm to provide trustworthy NGC grading services and auction submissions for members.

- We released the Platinum Offers Program for selected dealers programme, extending the benefits for Platinum Members without any increase to membership cost. We also simultaneously introduced a higher tier Platinum PLUS Premium Membership package in order to provide extended Platinum Offers and discounts.

- TSF migrated to faster servers with better worldwide distribution and page loading speeds, meanwhile also increasing the security from potential DDOS attacks. The servers that we use are used by many large scale European businesses. 

- TSF starting paying for a dedicated email distribution system that large scale businesses use. There is now an additional cost for us to send out emails and email notifications, however it means that notifications can now be delivered more quickly and without delays or backlogs during peak periods.

- We welcomed several new Official Sponsors, a full list of current Official Sponsors, and dealer sub forums can be seen here.

Not much more that can be said really....
 

So many people think we are the same person, but we really aren't!

Word to the wise…whatever you do, don’t publicly call anyone out unless you have clear evidence of wrongdoing in relation to grading and conservation issues.
I can see that no one has done that yet, but there is a very fine line between actually naming someone or just ‘suggesting’ who they are given the small number of possibilities.
Legal letters demanding apologies and compensation for ‘harm’ caused (reputation damage) have been known to arrive in mail boxes (e and door).
Probably best to move on unless you want to start a new thread, publicly name them and provide clear evidence? Otherwise, continued suggestions and hints will only lead to more discussions of suggested bad practice without any evidential basis and that will lead to litigation that could ultimately be successful. 

Well, the person that submitted them will know. They would have surely had an invoice indicating which coins were conserved. The excuse of not knowing is not good enough really.
Just on principal I would be contacting the person that submitted and press them for an answer. 
I also wouldn't take no for an answer. 
 

I don't really want to speculate further and we should probably get back on topic for this thread now 😜😜

Were your coins actually conserved though? You can ask and find out and get refunds if not.

I make you right on all your saying though

I'm subbing a good few coins to the NGC in the New year.  Who ever you use make you ask/get them to give you the submission number with your coin line number upon submission.  This protects you against coin being swapped if there is numerous same  coins being submitted on the same form, as the submission number and line number is unique to the code you get on the label on the slab (you might know this already)  There is a well know YT submitter who's actions have been called into serous doubt and also charging people for conservation when it was not done,  so please do what you can to protect yourself.  @CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions here have a very good reputation and trusted by many others on this forum.  
You will get the submission and line number normally pretty quick from the submitter, if you are getting conservation it can easily take unto 4 months so don't stress if it feels like forever to get the coin back.   
The submitter will normally email you the results prior to receiving the slabs coins once the NGC has updated the submission.....Fingers crossed for a PR70UC
Cheers

Self grading is dead easy, but might work out slightly cheaper to go through an intermediary if it's the only coin you will ever grade.
