[QUOTE="Insider, post: 7922074, member: 24314"]Jaelus, posted: "Well, since their customers already own the coins they submit, their customers are always potentially sellers, but never buyers.

Decades ago when "we" were the only game in town we had a joke that went this way... Let's call every coin genuine. That way everyone will be happy and it will be good for our bottom line. The seller will be happy; the buyer will be happy; and the counterfeiter will be happy. Later, at the first TPGS (INSAB) the joke evolved into ... Let's call everything Uncirculated. Everyone will be happy. It turns out, by the late 1990s that was actually going on very frequently. Standards be dammed, it was good for the bottom line. :( [USER=100459]@Jim Dale[/USER] Very Sad :( Aside from that, what do you think? Scratches or Die polish?[/QUOTE]
