<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 7922115, member: 101855&quot;]One of the big flaws in the third party grading market is that the companies have not maintained pictures of the coins that they have graded.

If there is no picture, how do you know if the coin you are viewing is the same one the company graded? This is an important element in counterfeit detection. </p><p><br /></p><p>Don’t think that this lake of photographic evidence is limited to cheap coins. I have looked up pieces that are worth thousands of dollars that have no photos attached to them. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is a problem, and it’s one the grading companies should address.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
