That would be dishonest, right? Maybe it depends on a case-by-case basis, such as buying truly undergraded coins. However, I have seen some dealers at shows that buy at an accurate grade and then sell it at an inflated grade, usually with raw coins. If this is not dishonest, please tell me what it.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as TPG gradeflation is concerned, TPGs should not grade, only authenticate, anything prior to 1850 because almost nothing above EF/AU is accurately graded according to the ANA grading standards.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
