<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 24838066, member: 15588&quot;]Are the TPGs still market grading? I would guess so, but I haven&#039;t really kept up with the topic in a few years. When I first found out about this difference, my interest in grading and slabs decreased somewhat. But, my confusions around why certain grades appear on certain slabs cleared up completely. If you don&#039;t know the difference between technical and market grading, it&#039;s worth learning about.</p><p><br /></p><p>There was a thread on this a while ago: <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/technical-grading-vs-market-grading.30055/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/technical-grading-vs-market-grading.30055/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/technical-grading-vs-market-grading.30055/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>As for me, I&#039;ve started buying mostly ancients. Concerns about cleaning, etc., turn into concerns about tooling and slabs don&#039;t have the following that they do for moderns. That comes with some risks, but I do prefer it. Plus, I really missed actually holding coins in my hand. Slabs definitely take that thrill away (but I understand the reasons why coins get slabbed).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
