<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 444897, member: 13650&quot;]Accuracy.&nbsp; Think about this word that you just used.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think anybody on this forum will ever deny you the fact that the TPGs are not and probably never will be able to claim 100% accuracy at assigning any grade.&nbsp; Since they can&#039;t, what percentage&nbsp; would be adequate for you? </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Now think about this.&nbsp; The mere mention you make of how accurate are they at grading PF70s, is claiming that in your opinion PF70s exist!&nbsp; This contradicts your argument that they do not.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Their accuracy may be 50,60,70, 80%.&nbsp; No way to know without, as you say, extensively testing the theory.&nbsp; I&#039;m not arguing there can be error!</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; But I don&#039;t need to test it.&nbsp; I&#039;m going to guess that they can be accurate 80% (maybe I&#039;m wrong, maybe it&#039;s only 60%) of the time and if I choose to buy a PF70 for not much more over a 69, I&#039;m willing to take my chances that I&#039;m more than likely getting a superior coin over what would typically be considered a 69.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;After all these years, why aren&#039;t umpires tested by computers over calling balls and strikes in MLB?&nbsp; Seems like an important aspect to know.&nbsp; How accurately and consistantly does an ump call a game?&nbsp; But they don&#039;t!&nbsp; And nobody complains.&nbsp; In fact it&#039;s worse!&nbsp; Some have large strike zones and some have smaller strike zones, and the teams know who they are!&nbsp; There isn&#039;t even a standard to go by.&nbsp; You can&#039;t.&nbsp;&nbsp; Players are different heights.&nbsp; The ball comes in at different speeds and countless different angles.&nbsp; Some pitches are a given and many others are judgment calls that everybody has to live with.&nbsp; At 90 to 100 mph, there isn&#039;t time to sit there and analyze it like you can sit and grade a coin under magnification for as long as you want.&nbsp;&nbsp; Not to mention, this is ONE person making the calls.&nbsp; Not 4 different people having to agree on it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; If you think 70 grade coins are a huge rip off and can&#039;t trust multiple professional&#039;s judgment calls, it is dually noted.&nbsp; Don&#039;t buy them.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; In addition, I&#039;m not here to advocate buying PF70 ASE&#039;s.&nbsp; I think it&#039;s crazy for how nice they all actually are, to pay 3-4x for a bullion coin, but I just wanted one for comparison.&nbsp; That 08 is the first and likely the last I would buy.&nbsp; That being said, I&#039;m not doubting, for how nice these are, that many, many PF70s exist.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
