<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 4771353, member: 37839"]I know. Hey, I will be the first to admit that TPGs make mistakes. I posted a proof Liberty Nickel that was so obviously undergraded, it was almost a joke. It happens—graders at TPGs are human, too. But, to dismiss Third Party Grading as largely inaccurate, and making statements like “All coins that are not MS 64/65 are AU” is so ridiculous, that it undermines one’s credibility. Obviously, it is within a TPG’s enlightened self interest to get it right a majority of the time. Otherwise, they would not be in business. The anti-TPG posters are really not particularly perceptive as collectors, if they honestly believe that nonsense. AU 58 coins are difficult to grade—is it MS, or high level AU? Everybody knows that—hence the joke MS 58 or AU 61. But, to carry it to the point that the “anti-fanboys” do is simply immature, <span style="color: #ff0000">[edited]</span>, as it is tiresome to read a thread of inexperienced collectors trashing a service that has been a boon to the hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
