<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSorbo, post: 2015931, member: 56370&quot;]Even though I&#039;m the one who started this thread I still agree with your statement.&nbsp; I just hope that the TPG&#039;s don&#039;t become so lax that their opinions stop being respected in the marketplace.&nbsp; The slight inconsistency in numerical grading doesn&#039;t bother me so much.&nbsp; It&#039;s the tendency to put problem coins in problem free holders that makes me nervous, and I hope the original coin I posted is an isolated incident.</p><p><br /></p><p>To put it in simple layman&#039;s terms, if I buy a coin that is certified problem free in any grade, I expect that it won&#039;t suck.&nbsp; So what if somebody thinks a 64 really should have been a 63 because it doesn&#039;t have quite enough luster?&nbsp; But if there is a trend toward slabbing coins that are scratched, nicked, damaged or scrubbed with a Brillo pad, then the system is in real trouble, because the whole purpose of slabbing is to create predictability in the market.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hear a lot about how the TPG&#039;s are just responding to what the market wants.&nbsp; I hope they are reading this thread then, because I don&#039;t think most of us want to get that long awaited certified coin in the mail and find a big scratch or some other nasty surprise.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
