<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1931922, member: 26302&quot;]Or, (this is just me talking), why not just learn how to grade between a 69 and 70, cherrypick coins that you feel is a 70, and feel good enough about that? Why is the TPG slab and grade needed at all? I completely understand your desire to get the best coin possible, most collectors feel that way. I am simply asking sir why, if you learn the differences and can pick out a 70 amongst the 69&#039;s yourself, do you need to pay someone else to agree and slab it? This is especially true if you are on a tight budget. Think of it this way, if you pick out the 70&#039;s yourself, then every third or fourth coin you buy is free, because you do not need to pay money to the TPG company. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>As an example, what does a MS70 2014 panda go for, around $70? Last weekend a dealer had sheets of these for $28 each. I am sure there were 70&#039;s in there. He also had ASE&#039;s and Maple leaves. I know a knowledgable collector could have picked out MS70 panda, ASE, and maple leaf all for the price of one TPG certified 70 panda. If the collector only wanted a 70 coin, and was not concerned about resalability, isn&#039;t this a better solution? Always remember, if you are a coin collector the coin, not the slab, should be what is important, right?</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, these are just questions. I am a friend of all coin collectors, and if your thing is only slabbed 70&#039;s, I have no problem with it. Just making sure you have a reason.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
