[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 1312315, member: 21705"]If memory serves me correctly, each coin is looked at for about 5 seconds by a TPGer whose primary duty is about the GRADE and secondarily the CONDITION. A second 5 second confirmation with the same primary objectives follows. I would trust my own eyes looking at a picture for several minutes over the TPGer for identification in a second. I trust them with GRADE, not attribution. There are TWO choices for a 1921. No mint mark or D. I see an unidentifiable mint mark, which in any year with two or more mint marks would make it unattributable. For 1921, it IS identifiable as 1921-D. I would send it back and ask for a re-identification which will make it worth about 75% more to those who buy the slab. It wouldn't make any difference to me since I don't trust TPGers for identification anyway. Perhaps it is a Copperhead bias.[/QUOTE]
