[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2948887, member: 112"]For the most part, you're right.

The warning is this, you collect world coinage, a good bit of it expensive world coinage. And besides grades, if the TPGs have one major weakness when it comes to slabbing world coins - it is authentication. Now the problem isn't rampant by any means, but they do make mistakes and slab coins as genuine when they are counterfeits.
