<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1877790, member: 112"]And what good would guarantees do ? ANACS and ICG could offer double your money guarantees and it still wouldn't matter. TPG guarantees, regardless of which company it is giving them, are only as good as the company's grading standards. The company is the one who determines if the grade is accurate or not - nobody else. In other words you can send a coin in to them, they grade it MS65. You get it back and say no way, that's an MS64 or an MS63, 100 others say the same thing, so you send it in under the guarantee. They look at it and send it back to you saying - it's MS65. End of story, no money back for you.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only thing that would put ANACS and ICG on par with NGC and PCGS would be if ANACS and ICG changed their grading standards to be on par with NGC and PCGS. </p><p><br /></p><p>But even if they did that it would take many, many, years for ANACS and ICG to overcome the numismatic community's perception of them, if they ever could at all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
