<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lucky Cuss, post: 1872881, member: 44086&quot;]On the topic of untrusted TPG&#039;s, this might be informative:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://coinauctionshelp.com/Coin_Help_Blog/the-top-coin-grading-services-to-avoid-like-a-disease/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coinauctionshelp.com/Coin_Help_Blog/the-top-coin-grading-services-to-avoid-like-a-disease/" rel="nofollow">http://coinauctionshelp.com/Coin_Help_Blog/the-top-coin-grading-services-to-avoid-like-a-disease/</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There used to be a lot of coins in these (and other) obscure holders offered on eBay, really a deceptive practice that I understand is not so widespread there anymore.&nbsp; But I still see this sort of thing turn up in pawn shops (rarely in any reputable coin shop, though).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Besides the emergence of eBay as a market for collector coins, another thing that has happened over the last 20 years is the rise of Chinese counterfeiters (including sometimes fake &quot;PCGS&quot; and &quot;NGC&quot; slabs), who often use (abuse) eBay to export their nefarious products.&nbsp; This is something you&#039;ll need to get up to speed on before spending too much.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
