<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 168157, member: 3726"]Interesting topic - I can see where this over grading might make money for a big time collector, but not from me. I keep seeing all those Jules R. large cents on ebay and I skip them. Some of them look like they are graded correctly, but I feel like they expect me to pay a premium for the collectors name on the holder. Also I am going to do my best to pay money for the grade of the coin, not the grade on the holder.</p><p><br /></p><p>I find it "interesting" that so much discussion occurs around TPG companies when the motto that keeps getting repeated here is "Buy the coin not the holder". So who really cares what they grade a coin - me, as the buyer, has the final say on what I will pay. Now I am off to keep searching....I have only bought three coins in two months(1832 VF, 1827 VF, 1981 Proof Type II) and I feel the need to find something. Been saying that to myself for 3 weeks now and still have not found something I like. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
