<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 8046444, member: 101855&quot;]Unfortunately that takes too much time for the TPGs who are looking to process the coins as much as possible. What collectors don&#039;t realize is that the graders must get &quot;the product&quot; out as fast as possible. That involves quick reviews by however many number of graders they have looking at coins. There is supposed to be a &quot;finalizer&quot; who is supposed to catch this stuff. As you can see, a small number of the authentication errors still get through. </p><p><br /></p><p>The thing that burns me when they make a mistake like this is that they charge you based upon the market value of the coin. Yes, a low grade 1796 No Pole Half Cent in low grade is not worth as much as a better one. Still it is on the Greysheet for $22,000 in AG. That means you are going to be paying at least several hundred dollars to get an example graded. Given that, what is the excuse for NOT taking the precautions with a coin with less than 50 known genuine examples?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
