<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2334933, member: 24314&quot;]Wow Burton!&nbsp; Great research. I think many of us just learned something.&nbsp; I think I read that the guarantee ONLY applies to the original submitter!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Does anyone know if the other TPGS put this wording on their forms.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If so, it appears that there is actually NO Guarantee down the line.&nbsp; Can they do that?&nbsp; I thought the guarantee stayed with the coin. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I AGREE 100%&nbsp; With the volume of SE going through the TPGS, I&#039;ll guarantee that no one grading these coins is even using a magnifying glass!&nbsp; BUYER BEWARE.&nbsp; I cannot tell you the number of times I thought an SE was a 70 and than saw a tiny mark.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I will not purchase one at a coin show anymore due to the lighting.&nbsp; My advice, sit down, take your time looking, use a set pattern to examine the coin so you don&#039;t miss anything as I have done IN THE PAST but never again.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For anyone interested: using just my eys, I look at the obv first, then the reverse WHILE slowly tipping and rotating the coin in the light.&nbsp; Next I repeat that using magnification.&nbsp; I look at the fields first, then each letter, then the relief design - then do the same on the other side.&nbsp; I want no spots, hairlines, or dings.&nbsp; Note: I&#039;ll even pass on a coin with Mint-made defects that are &quot;allowed&quot; on a 70! </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>True 70&#039;s are out there all over the place if you look at enough coins.&nbsp; IMO, they should be sold at a premium no matter what TPGS slab they are in.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie14" alt=":angelic:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
