<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bonedigger, post: 291423, member: 4367&quot;]Yes Doug, thanks for addressing one aspect/point of my post. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I&#039;ve known about the &#039;Presidential Review&#039; process and the dollars it costs for such an action to occur but I wasn&#039;t referring to this offered process which came later, it was another time when an owner personally walked into the &#039;grading room?&#039; and instructed his graders to process an order or perform a test while he watched.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, what are your thoughts about dealing in relatively common coins when you basically own the company which produces the final product a product which is an expensive encapsulated, graded, and attributed expensive coin.&nbsp; In&nbsp; an old line of work I worked closely with (base contracting office in the 80&#039;s and 90&#039;s, not just guarding planes, LOL) this practice was frowned upon because of the possible obvious conflict of interest and both entities were separated.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In order to put this (Business Mgt vs President) thing into perspective one has to remember that Bill Gates relinquished the helm of Microsoft (MSFT) for a period of time (When MSFT was getting slammed in the courts) yet he still obviously pulled Steve Ballmer&#039;s strings.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think we&#039;re ever going to see eye-to-eye on this TPG thing and that&#039;s okay for this is America and freedom of choice is one of benefits.&nbsp; In closing, I seem to recall a certain slabbed &amp; graded MS-70 Buffalo which had marks and or fingerprints all over it.&nbsp;&nbsp; This coin was being offered for sale at one point by the President/Founder/CEO of the TPG that did the grading, which they also owned.</p><p><br /></p><p>Take Care Buddy</p><p>Ben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
