<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 428964, member: 66"]But you still have the problem that you have to be able to attribute and confirm the varieties of the coins in Heritage's archives. Never trust the grading services, especially PCGS and NGC to attribute coins by die variety correctly (And if the services have attributed them, usually the auction house will just blindly accept their attribution.) For those that the TPG did not attribute and the auction house did, you can still find errors. In last weeks Pre-Long Beach sale at Heritage at least ten percent of the Conder token lots contained at least one misattributed coin. (It might have been higher because I only double checked the attributions on those lots that had a piece listed that I was interested in. I sent them a list of corrections and they did update the auction listings, one hour before the end of on-line bidding. Fortunately none of the lots went to a mail bidder.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
