<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 271327, member: 4552&quot;]I too am not a big fan of TPG services. Hoewver, lately with the coin collecting craze being so big, I feel a slabbed coin is a lot more safe for coins with a slightly higher value. If you go to a lot of coin shows as I do you will hear numerous stories of fakes being sold everywhere. Of course there are a few stories of fake slabs also. So if the coin is fake and the slab is fake, how do you know anything. One dealer showed me a coin&nbsp; that had been returned to him as a counterfeit. He didn&#039;t think so, so he sent it to another grading service and it came back graded and in a slab. HMMMM. Other dealers at shows I know have shown me some really great fakes that I couldn&#039;t tell and many others couldn&#039;t tell. The higher the value, the better the fakes are becoming. A long time ago there was not so much to be made from fakes but now with the coin market so big, many, many fakes are selling.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
