<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rhoggman, post: 401661, member: 13987&quot;]I asked this question in another thread, but did not get an answer.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>OK... some have mentioned that submissions are down at the TPG&#039;s obviously because there is a limit to how many older coins can be submitted. Since submission are down, revenue is down. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The question is if a new TPG offers more services, grades more consistantly, most importantly graded more conservativley, and then actually gained trust and respect from the collecting community, how would this affect prices, population reports, and the overall market for coins? I don&#039;t want to get into modern coins in this discussion because I don&#039;t think that area of the market would change drastically.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Everyone knows the population reports are already scewed due to multiple submissins and cross grading, but if a more respected service started getting many crossovers this would make the situation even worse with the pop reports.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I think the biggest stirring of the pot would be more conservative grading standards and how this could effect prices of coins across the board.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Obviously like I said this &quot;new&quot; would have to gain respect and trust for this to happen, but this is not out of the question. This is possible....</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For instance lets say this new TPG is DGS, and for a given coin, or type of coin they become the new standard. Say for a MS64 people recognize that for this coin or type most MS64s are as nice or nicer than a PCGS MS65. This could really stir things up.....</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Your opinions please......[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
