<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikem2000, post: 1299789, member: 30574&quot;]Well, the crack out game has caused an interesting and troublesome issue. Since many hundreds of dollars and sometimes thousands of dollars can be made or lost by a single grading point, most coins that are from mid to high end of the grade they are initially slabbed at are eventually cracked out and re-submitted. Sometimes this is done many times for the one time it makes its way into the higher grade slab.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;What that leaves is the majority of coins are either overgraded or at the low end of the grade in their slabs. So in theory, when a CAC puts their green sticker on the coin, it is saying that the coin is solid for the grade and because of the crack out game, these coins are becoming more rare. </p><p><br /></p><p>This way the buyer has a bit more confidence he is purchasing a good solid coin. So it is not a matter of not trusting the TPG&#039;s but a way to deal with inherant issues that go along with certified grading.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
