<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldenLager, post: 2297548, member: 30528&quot;]I like the point above about how TPGs are like real estate brokers, with vast market knowledge and data (esp photos) and price histories to estimate a coins condition and hence value.</p><p><br /></p><p>And while I realize mistakes do happen, i dont like the idea they would miss many &quot;doctoring&quot; issues.&nbsp; Ive definitely had many Details grades, especially in my earlier collecting days.&nbsp; Though Ive used those experiences and knowledge to improve my ability to select quality coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think CAC is a really valuable service.&nbsp; The coin market obviously thinks so, as the premiums are the evidence.</p><p><br /></p><p>Obviously lots of things come into play when deciding what to buy.&nbsp; I do like that extra security the green bean gives me, its sort of like going to another doctor (and a real good one!).</p><p><br /></p><p>What puzzles me a bit though is, if the bean indicates &quot;solid for the grade&quot;, would that imply most any non-damaged non-doctored coin could get a green bean if given a low enough grade?</p><p><br /></p><p>Not sure if this would be advisable under any circumstances, its just hypothetical.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
