<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cwtokenman, post: 213947, member: 2100&quot;]I agree that not all of the bases were covered. In general, for exonumia, I feel that there is extremely little need for slabbing, and IMO the tpgs are doing a rather poor job with exonumia. Sure, grading is an opinion, but even their identification skills are lacking. When slabs first appeared with Civil War tokens (mostly NGC), I would estimate that about 25% were incorrectly identified. They have improved, but they still make many errors. I would only submit a token for authentication, and even then I would probably use the Civil War Token Society&#039;s services. A grade on a tpg slab holds absolutely no value for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>My biggest complaint is that slabs seemed to be used primarily as a selling tool, something to try to obtain more dollars from me with no value added features. As I have posted in the past, the &quot;benefits&quot; of slabbing really have little/no value with exonumia. On ebay for instance, a majority of the cwt slabs are for common tokens, and not necessarily even for uncirculated ones.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
