And it can be a double edged sword for that scenario. Unscrupulous dealers will dispute the grade to take advantage of you. Trusted and respected dealers who know coins well enough will be able to identify those that have been over-graded, and there&#039;s more than few that have been, and they will tell you the truth and only offer what the coin is really worth. Of course you have to have the good sense to believe them or you will think they are merely trying to take advantage of you too - even though they are just being honest.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the old days there were dealers you could trust. In today&#039;s world, there are dealers you can trust. And in both, there were dealers you could not trust. The key is knowing one from the other. The good guys will tell you when the TPG is right, but they will also tell when the TPG is wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you deal with these guys, and just these guys - you don&#039;t need the TPG. But since there are far more that don&#039;t deal with the good guys than there are that do, the TPGs are helpful for them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
