<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 470414, member: 2972&quot;]I&#039;m gonna disagree with you GDJMSP, on the point about it being only in the last few years that TPGs have market graded coins.&nbsp; IMO, it is has been a gradual process over the years, with certain times of &quot;softening&quot;, but stepwise in its march.&nbsp; It is most visible on the high-end by definition, and perhaps that&#039;s where it&#039;s focused in the past few years (I certainly would agree with NGC and how they give out top-pop grades), but as a wise man once told me, <u>TPG&#039;s don&#039;t grade coins above MS 65 they rank them</u>*.&nbsp; All that said, I was not actively collecting during the early years of the TPGs, so I don&#039;t have as much in-period experience as some.&nbsp; Respectfully...Mike</p><p><br /></p><p>* that was a very insightful comment, and I think everyone out there should give some thought to it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
