<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 8484998, member: 24314&quot;]Sometimes the two top TPGS&#039;s get a bad rap.&nbsp; When they both started (1986 -1987) they were a joke when it came to varieties.&nbsp; They didn&#039;t recognize most of them, missed a lot of obvious ones, and didn&#039;t do tokens either.&nbsp; ANACS ran rings around them because their graders were true &quot;coinheads&quot; and not former coin dealers.&nbsp; The top two have become much better over the decades.&nbsp; From what I see, much of the problems remaining involve misattributions of tokens.&nbsp; <b>We tend to forget that the volume of coins they do a week must be very daunting. </b></p><p><br /></p><p>I have the luxury of spending 15 minutes attributing just one CWT with 24 different similar reverse dies Fuld#296-319 just now (and then posting about it here for another 5 minutes).&nbsp; The problem arises when slabbed coins attributed on the Internet and even in auctions are incorrect.&nbsp; I often use these images to verify my attribution: however many times (with this token too) they don&#039;t match the image in the Fuld Reference Book!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
