[QUOTE="Insider, post: 24597071, member: 24314"]I stopped playing GTG because I was usually wrong. :blackeye: Since you asked, I'll guess it is a dirty XF. If you send any coin to PCGS or NGC - send it in RAW or you may not get a fair "commercially acceptable" opinion. Why should a top TPGS say the other services grade basically the same. If you send in a PCGS or NGC coin to a second tier service like ICG or ANACS, keep it in the original slab! ICG will cross or upgrade coins fairly no matter who's slab it is in. Additionally, you are wasting money trying to det ANY "Detailed" coin from any TPGS "straight graded!" It ain't going to happen but lots of folks try it. Learn to grade for yourselves because TPGS are not perfect.[/QUOTE]
