<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Silver Striker, post: 115740, member: 1745&quot;]Ok, were back to the argument that Coin Grading is an opinion.&nbsp; However, the collector&#039;s argument can be made that SGS has graded thousands of coins so the coins should be graded closely.&nbsp; The further argument is that who is the appraiser and what is his/her expertise on grading coins?&nbsp; What makes the insurance appraiser&#039;s opinion gospel?&nbsp; I know let&#039;s send in the SGS grader for their expert opinion and appraisal.</p><p><br /></p><p>Has anyone here had their collections insured?&nbsp;&nbsp; Was the slabbed graded value knocked down for not being graded by one of the top tier grading companies? I can understand the appraiser giving lower value for unslabbed and graded coins but...</p><p><br /></p><p>I wonder how this would fair out in court?&nbsp; A battle for insuring a collection verses the insurance company&#039;s appraisers and the TPG Company’s so called expert opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>After all grading is a subjective opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Looking at the coins I&#039;ve seen so far I seriously doubt SGS even looking at their graded coins through any maginifyer to expertly examine and grade the coins properly.&nbsp; They just give them the old eyeball test.&nbsp; Or if it comes directly from the mint it MUST be PR70 or MS70 and just slab the darn things.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
