[QUOTE="USS656, post: 263146, member: 6641"]I agree: For the top tier TPG's - It will be a tap dance every time one of these coins is graded differently than their TPG grade - especially if the grade is only one or two off from the original grade. - It's all subjective right... For the rest - You know you are dealing with a company that is not top tier so do you really need to pay more to have someone tell you so? The entire concept just sounds like a new TPG. Question - can you send them an ungraded coin to grade? Or, do you have to pay to have it graded twice (once by a TPG - then verified by this group). With the second scenario I think most people will consider it insane to have to pay twice for what should be done correctly the first time. Why not just send it to a top tier company and have it graded if there is even a question. On the buying side - on the high end coins you had better know what you are doing from the start or else you can and probably will lose big. I guess if you are throwing around a large amount of money to invest in bullion and are too lazy or busy to learn about the investment, then maybe you would use this service a few times. The problem is - if you see that there is not much difference between the actual grade and the new grade then why would you continue to use the service. And, once you have identified which grading companies are consistently close, you can limit the coins you purchase to these TPG's. This raises the question - will this new group need to validate their existence by showing most grades are not accurate? Like you said Robbie - Let the fireworks begin - IMO - they are doomed in the context of the business you described.[/QUOTE]
