<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kim Greenwood, post: 3298367, member: 78837&quot;]First, I want to clarify, I was not directing my message directly at you Paddy. I was stating my approach only, nothing more, but perhaps I could have structured my message a bit more clearly. In terms of incorrectly graded or attributed coins, I have no defense if I purchased the coin because, first and foremost, I liked the coin. If I make the same mistake the TPG made, then that is all on me. When I find a coin I like at a coin show, and a bit hesitant about my opinion I will ask one of my trusted dealers present to also go take a look at the coin. I am happy to say, my choices have always been great choices and very satisfactory purchases. Most of my purchases are done from these trusted dealers who understand the quality I am looking for in a coin...and I have the option of not purchasing the coin if we don&#039;t agree (seldom happens). Yes, I did read the thread regarding the Franklin, my personal opinion is the focus was on the slab and not the coin...could happen to anyone if caught up in the moment. From a personal standpoint, I have also seen (and on occasion purchased) several coins I felt were (correctly) superior to the grade on the slab. I enjoy the hobby and with my purchases/choices of the slabbed coins, expect to have a very nice collection I feel honored to own. Again.....nothing I said was directed at any individual, just describing my approach.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
