<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JPeace$, post: 3046547, member: 42727&quot;]I agree Steven.&nbsp; But, I also own a number of coins where the TPG grade and CAC sticker are well deserved.&nbsp; That doesn&#039;t mean I will only buy that way, but they do get more right than wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>To me that&#039;s the beauty of this hobby.&nbsp; Take a 1838 Bust Half in XF45.&nbsp; That coin can technically meet the grade (as I judge it), but it also might have some of the contact marks in the most distracting area of the coin for me.&nbsp; While I think the TPG got the grade correct, I don&#039;t like the way it looks so I won&#039;t add it to my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>IMO, there are quite a few collectors (not necessarily here) that think a PCGS graded coin with a CAC sticker is infallible, but I don&#039;t drink from that fountain and neither do most of the collectors on this site, as far as I can tell.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
