<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treylxapi47, post: 1895148, member: 41863&quot;]Do you even read anything I write, or the responses of others? How is an answer straightforward when the responders to this thread are split about even on it being a problem coin or not. Do I need to tally that up for you?</p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps if you dont like the way I do things simply avoid my threads? I dont have unrealistic standards, in fact I have had several people validate my concerns, reputable dealers even. Tom B and Matt are BOTH great people and dealers and both agree they wouldnt have bought the coin knowing that mark was there and it was graded problem free. </p><p><br /></p><p>So again I ask, what straightforward answer are you talking about?</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the info on the back of the slabs. Have you seen how much space is where the hologram is located? There is plenty of room for two sentences in small font to describe the coin from a paid EXPERTS point of view, not yours, not DLRC, not Stacks, not some random ebay seller i dont know, but the people paid for their opinion on the matter. </p><p><br /></p><p>Just because you are mister awesome coin collector doesnt mean every other person interested in coins is that savvy. In fact I would say more collectors are crippled by the TPGs thinking for them and more information is always a good thing in that respect. Sure would help to know a little bit more about what you are buying without always having to rely on seeing awesome pictures or the coin in hand. Somehow it has escaped you that many of the collectors of coins are slightly older men. A combination that doesnt exactly lend itself to always having people who can take fancy photos and write up super detailed descriptions using technology over the internet. There are many buyers/collectors who can barely turn the computer on to buy to begin with, but sometimes people like that sell coins eventually and dont have a ton of expertise in doing so. I still see it on ebay from time to time, I can imagine a new era of slab would have benefits there too. And like I previously mentioned, my tactic sure would keep the crappy sellers out there alot more honest. It would be hard for the seller to argue that there isnt a scratch on this coin if it was described on the slab itself on the back. And again, vice versa, as a buyer I wouldnt be able to claim I bought a coin that wasnt described correctly because we are removing that from the people who stand to profit the most.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately, I dont live in a world where I get everything that I want, and its hard finding dealers who are willing to describe the most negative things about their coins. The majority of them highlight the best points on a coin and often times leave you left to find any potential flaws. Not saying all dealers are like that, but many are.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
