<p>[QUOTE="cwtokenman, post: 312804, member: 2100"]I don't deal with many different tpgs, as only a few have entered the cwt/exonumia market. NGC is by far the most prevalent, but I do not think they have read the entire book on how to correctly identify Civil War tokens. IMO, they perform rather sloppy work, frequently making id errors (I had seen groups of early NGC cwt slab offerings on ebay that consisted of an over 10% id error rate), and they also seem to have all too frequent problems just copying the merchant's name from the token to the label. A number of cwt ids have been 100% incorrectly identified by NGC, and I predict that trend will continue until someone there figures out how to read the book. If they can not be accurate with the definite (identification), I certainly have no faith in their guess at the subjective (grading). </p><p><br /></p><p>To answer the OP's question, I would say learn to do it well yourself and then you will have little to no need to pay others for their opinions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
