<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 592185, member: 15309&quot;]Tmoney,</p><p><br /></p><p>You are treading on treacherous ground.&nbsp; We all understand your point which is that currently PCGS and NGC offer a much better resale value for a slabbed coin.&nbsp; What you need to recognize is that the TPG game is all about consumer confidence and reputation.&nbsp; It takes a long time to build that confidence and it can be destroyed quickly.&nbsp; Dominion has only been in business for a little over a year.&nbsp; That is not nearly long enough to evaluate the company&#039;s performance.&nbsp; Furthermore, the biggest problem that I see is that it is tough to be a Third Party Grader when you own a coin auction house (DLRC).&nbsp; However, my guess is that in order to take on a two headed monster like NGC &amp; PCGS, any new TPG would need a base of customers to market their services to.&nbsp; Once they can convince the DLRC&#039;s base of loyal customers that their grading practices are sound, they can then start to aggressively advertise and expand.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as your little experiment, respectfully, you need to provide incentive.&nbsp; If I am being obtuse, let me make it clear.&nbsp; Nobody is simply going to try to prove you wrong so that you can applaud their efforts.&nbsp; Now a wager on the other hand is a different story.&nbsp; This venture is time consuming and costly and I wouldn&#039;t touch it for less than $1,000.&nbsp; I also wouldn&#039;t cross them, rather I would insist on cracking and re-submitting.&nbsp; Let me know if you would like to continue discussing the experiment.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as my opinion on DGS, I hate both the name Dominion and the fact that they have continued to use the PCI holder which I always hated.&nbsp; With regards to their grading, I think it is very good.&nbsp; Had the CAC not come along and forced the big two to tighten up a little, I think DGS might have actually been more conservative than both PCGS and NGC.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
