<p>[QUOTE=&quot;imrich, post: 8104224, member: 22331&quot;]I&#039;m an individual who has been buying coins which meet my technical grading established over 70 years of working in coin shops and buying/selling slabbed coins since their origination. I will buy coins meeting my standards regardless of the slabber TPG name. For years I&#039;ve removed the Gold coins from their slabs, and submitted them through established dealers to NGC and PCGS. I&#039;ve kept hundreds of the original slabs, and the resulting coins that were &quot;top tier TPG&quot; slabbed. I usually submit an original NGC coin to PCGS, and vice-versa.</p><p><br /></p><p>The majority of the time the &quot;top tier&quot; coins will not receive the original TPGs&#039; grade. Seldom will the other slabbed coins (e.g. ACG, ANACS, ICG, PCI, SEGS, ....) meet their original slab grade, but occasionally they will receive a higher &quot;top tier TPG&quot; grade, and as in the independent grading study of 50 years past, some are more predictably reliable.</p><p><br /></p><p>I find your argument ludicrous, as the average &quot;top tier TPG&quot; graded coin can&#039;t receive a &quot;bean&quot;, the 2 you recommend are far less likely to receive same, and would possibly overwhelm a valuable service.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you believe a 2nd? tier TPG graded coin is undergraded, submit same to the 1st tier TPGs.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, I&#039;ve found when a coin is too perfect, it may receive a &quot;details&quot; rating, and be graded upon re-submission to the other TPG.</p><p><br /></p><p>This has been a very expensive/long learning process, but I believe warranted in order to determine/record truths.</p><p><br /></p><p>JMHO[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
