<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pepperoni, post: 1764112, member: 5520&quot;]At some point when using a TPG you loose control of you merchandise . This I find as a hole in the system. Unless coins are marked like diamonds , with micro serial numbers a piece of merchandise can be exchanged for another. There is a great amount of latitude</p><p>when one says grade this item but you do not really know if it is what you sent in . Diamond dealers went to serialized stones for the very sane reason and of course blood diamonds from Africa being sold raw.</p><p>A coin that is found and graded higher than one or two in a very prestigious collection could and would change the value of that collection.</p><p>On the reverse it is very important to verify that older coins are authentic as many&nbsp;&nbsp; counterfeit coins exist . TPG`s are needed for this service while you watch.</p><p>I was going to take eighteen gold coins in for verification my Grand Father left my Father. He left them in a picture album , in small brown envelopes .</p><p>He never looked in the album . He had not seen his father from his fifth birthday until he was about 41 years old . I saw him when I was about 12 years old.</p><p>I figured he acquired the coins about 1909 -1912 so there was no need to have them verified . I will pass these down to my daughters .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
