<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 2670371, member: 19250&quot;]This is and has been a on my mind ever since the grading of coins by a TPG.</p><p>My thoughts&nbsp; if you had a tooth ache you wouldn&#039;t&nbsp; go to a proctlogist you see a dentists. True&nbsp; both&nbsp; are doctors&nbsp; however ,each working on the opposite ends!</p><p>So why would you send a coin from a series&nbsp; that the TPG grader has no knowledge ? </p><p>Yes I&#039;m&nbsp; sure someone&nbsp; will post a reply that they are supposed&nbsp; to be an expert&nbsp; in grading coins. All coins.....I say not so.</p><p>Going back to my opening&nbsp; statement&nbsp; yeah I would see a Veterinarian&nbsp; as they have a degree a B.S. medical school, and another 4 years of Veterinarian&nbsp; school.</p><p>That said yeah I would see a Vet over any other doctor if a dentist&nbsp; wasn&#039;t&nbsp; available .</p><p>Now if a so called expert on grading doesn&#039;t&nbsp; know the series&nbsp; he/she is grading how can they make a call ?</p><p>I have seen posted in here lots of times where an honest&nbsp; member&nbsp; states &quot;not a series&nbsp; that I collect&nbsp; or am I familiar&nbsp; with.&quot;</p><p>So you send in x number of coins to a TPG they like others who work need to produce&nbsp; a certain&nbsp; amount&nbsp; of&nbsp; coins&nbsp; daily.</p><p>That said if they have to process&nbsp; x number&nbsp; of&nbsp; coins a day....how&nbsp; long do you think they would spend on a specimen understanding&nbsp; it&#039;s&nbsp; variety ,&nbsp; or any other special&nbsp; tid - bit of information&nbsp; on&nbsp; said coin?</p><p>After all they have to fill a quota because more coins are needed to be graded.</p><p>So just how long is spent on each coin on a 20 coin submission ? How many series&nbsp; does a so called expert&nbsp; know everything&nbsp; they would need to know in order to get it right?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
