<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Evom777, post: 1498186, member: 27123&quot;]Funny You should say that because a few years ago when I was starting to pick up graded silver dollars, I mainly knew silver bullion, nothing about numismatics. I would buy slabs and assume that the grade was always 100 percent dead on. But as I learned and read books like the Morgan guide book and the ANA grading standards, I started to see that the TPGs had some issues. </p><p><br /></p><p>Fast forward to last week when I was in my favorite coin shop.....I was looking to pick up a graded Morgan in at least a MS64. I saw an MS65 that looked sub-par for the grade, and a MS64 that when compared to the 65 had fewer issues. Even the dealer agreed that the 65 was overgraded. I picked up the 64 and have no regrets. The old me would of just looked at the 65 Morgan and bought it without really scrutinizing it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I`m buying the coin for the coin and not the slab it might be in.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
