<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgandude11, post: 1933165, member: 37839&quot;]That is a rhetorical question.&nbsp; Everybody looks at the coin, prior to buying, whether or not it is in person, or via images online.&nbsp;&nbsp; I disagree strenuously that the TPG has no real standards---they use the Sheldon scale, and experience to grade a coin based on established rubrics.&nbsp; Nobody said that you must accept these rubrics--you can create your own anytime you want.&nbsp; However, the coin hobby seems to feel differently than you do--most folks do buy graded coins, and have reasonable (albeit not blind and unwavering) trust in the ability of a TPG to validate their purchases and sales.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
