Many of those that are rejected have been doctored. Some others are coins that most top experts would regard as being mistakenly overgraded by the TPGs.

Once in a while, I do see a coin that I believe was rejected by CAC that I maintain should have beaned. On rare occasion, I see a CAC approved coin that I believe has problems. In a majority of cases, however, I am in agreement with CAC decisions, as are most other pertinent experts, as far as I know. I assert that JA has the highest &#039;batting average,&#039; among coin graders.</p><p><br /></p><p><i>Paddy54: &lt;&lt;I trust my eye and have no need to pay for a fancy holder unless I choose to.&gt;&gt;</i></p><p><br /></p><p>This statement may be harmful to some of the members of CoinTalk. Relatively expensive coins are more likely to be re-submitted to the TPGs. Many have been doctored and many coins that have never been doctored have imperfections that are not readily apparent, but are seen by skilled graders.</p><p><br /></p><p>A collector who is spending a lot of money on single coins, amounts that the buyer regards &#039;a lot,&#039; should consult an expert. I repeat that I do not know anything about Paddy54&#039;s grading skills. Very few collectors, however, have tremendous grading skills. How many baseball fans could bat above .300 in the major leagues?</p><p><br /></p><p><b><a href="http://www.coinweek.com/news/more-news/coin-grading/coin-rarities-related-topics-the-introduction-of-the-pcgs-coin-sniffer-to-detect-doctored-coins/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinweek.com/news/more-news/coin-grading/coin-rarities-related-topics-the-introduction-of-the-pcgs-coin-sniffer-to-detect-doctored-coins/" rel="nofollow">The Formal Introduction of the PCGS &#039;Coin Sniffer&#039; at the PCGS Luncheon</a></b></p><p><br /></p><p><b><a href="http://www.coinlink.com/News/general-collecting/coin-rarities-related-topics-defining-coin-doctoring-and-dipping-additions-to-the-pcgs-lawsuit-against-alleged-coin-doctors/[/L" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinlink.com/News/general-collecting/coin-rarities-related-topics-defining-coin-doctoring-and-dipping-additions-to-the-pcgs-lawsuit-against-alleged-coin-doctors/[/L" rel="nofollow">Defining Coin Doctoring and Dipping, Additions to the PCGS Lawsuit Against Alleged Coin Doctors – 09/08/10</a></b></p><p><br /></p><p><i>Jello: &lt;&lt;Millions of people are fooled in buying a Green Bean .
