<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Richard01, post: 43579, member: 2700&quot;]The whole certification thing has been a headache for me. I like the idea of an independant verification that this thing truly is x, not y, and knowing that for all time. However, that is not what you get with a certification. Folks still argue that this certification is x points high or low, and they re-submit to get a better cert from the same company... now that just seem wrong! And where does the value really go? To the lucky coin owners? No, to the certification companies, it seems, who get 30 bucks a pop to say you have a nice coin that is what you thought it was, or a grade better, or a grade worse...</p><p>It makes no sense. I like slabs, I personally think it a nice way to store a great coin, and I like a well printed label. But, to send a coins with $30 or more to get it? Hmmm, I&#039;ll take a nice encased coin in auction when the price is right, and I am sending a few (very few) selected coins out to lower end less expensive graders to see what I get. But, all in all, I don&#039;t think it sounds like the TPG&#039;s are doing the industry any favors right now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
