<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 599413, member: 307&quot;]That makes perfect sense since it is <i>their</i> grading standards. I think sometimes people forget this. Doug reminded me of this fact in a post last week. We all have to understand that sometimes when we don&#039;t agree with the grade it&#039;s because our standards differ from theirs, not that the coin is incorrectly graded.</p><p><br /></p><p>We&#039;ve been through this a million times in other threads, but one needs to learn to grade for him/herself and not have to rely on what a slab says or look for a green sticker or a gold sticker or whatever you have. Learn to grade for yourself if you are going to buy coins. use the TPGs for what they do best: authentication. If the slab helps you sell the coin, then it&#039;s a good thing, but if you need the slab to tell you what the coin grades, (and forgive me for the way that this sounds) then you need to learn more about coins. Because you&#039;re going to eventually get burned.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
