<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Evom777, post: 1497648, member: 27123&quot;]As one who has never submitted anything to be graded, I have no experience with any of the services, only what dealers and others have told/shown me. At some point I would like to submit certain coins though. I`m hearing and seeing mixed results with slabs that have come from the &quot;big 3.&quot; I have seen an ASE with a nick on the shield that was graded MS-69. (NGC) </p><p><br /></p><p>A dealer I know sent out a Morgan and 1928 Peace dollar that had somewhat unattractive toning....both came back as &quot;questionable toning.&quot; Not gradable.</p><p>I have in my collection ASE`s that have been toned naturally and artificially, (that I did not do) and I can tell You that only an idiot would experiment on a 1928 Peace dollar (with at least AU details) regarding toning. Even a novice would of picked a much lesser coin to tone if they had not perfected their trickery. How do the tpg`s define questionable anyway? The term questionable states that it`s not definitive. If the tpg does not know for certain, does that make the coin guilty until proven innocent? </p><p><br /></p><p>Some dealers have said that the tpg`s have gotten more strict regarding dmpl and pl, while others state the opposite. What do You all think about the tpg`s giving out plus grades? Are they becoming more common? </p><p><br /></p><p>Just trying to get some feedback on what`s been happening as of late with the tpg`s. :smile[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
