[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 3334334, member: 77814"][USER=93969]@Prez2[/USER] Also, I should add, what if we tell a newbie a certain generic thing about their coins. And they get the impression that it's worth a lot of money. So they send their coin(s) off to be graded and it comes back just as junk. Then how is that inaccurate information doing anyone any good? The TPG graders are not going to be lenient in grading or in numismatic terms. They are going to be [U]exact[/U] (for what they deem exact, not us). Just look at how many newbie posts we get on "how much is this worth?" Not everyone is going to be in this hobby for the exact reasons you are. And we're not mind readers, nor do we control other people's thinking, nor reasoning nor interpretation (not everyone speaks perfect dictionary based english). So if we don't follow the numismatic terms we end up not being fair to anyone and in the end may provide a disservice. If you go to the other numismatic websites you'd find that this CT site is lenient and friendly by comparison.[/QUOTE]
