<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 908187, member: 15309&quot;]The TPG grade is still important and useful even to dealers and the most advanced collector. Your other points are well taken and 100% true. Knowledge of how to grade coins will allow you do avoid the dreck and build a collection of quality coins for the assigned grade. Without the TPG&#039;s assigning a grade, you would inevitably return to the days when the seller always thought the coin was undergraded and the buyer always thought the coin was overgraded.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I like that idea very much Doug. Can I nominate your post for the clinker award. That is a good name for what they do (value grading) and I think it is very bad for the hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
