<p>[QUOTE="JayF, post: 3061434, member: 92530"]If someone has the intention to sell a damaged coin as problem free, they won't get it slabbed and just sell it on eBay, or etsy or ecrater, etc. If a newbie gets their coin back in a slab stating it's damaged, they would most likely rip that casing off if they want to con someone into buying their coin. I don't think slabbing a damaged coin prevents it from being sold. I personally don't want to see my coin in a slab that says it's damaged, I'd rather they tell me in a "body bag" and give my money back.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think it's time that an overwatch group is created, pick 20 of the TOP numismatists in the country/world and make them the authority on what should be graded and not. It will probably help in minimizing all the ever growing minute DDOs/DDRs/varieties that requires a microscope to find. Otherwise, TPGs can pretty much make up anything, eventually they can create a grading system for the ugliest coin in the world, or the most damaged coin in existence. People go to TPGs because there are no other way. That's my rant for the day lol. Apologies to [USER=92655]@Randy Abercrombie[/USER], didn't mean to hijack your thread with my questions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
