<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robp, post: 24848956, member: 96746&quot;]I was actually thinking of not only 4, but 5 &amp; 6 figure examples too. </p><p><br /></p><p>My point is that you shouldn&#039;t sell to the market the idea you are the guardians who will ensure innocent collectors aren&#039;t taken for a ride by the unscrupulous passing off damaged/altered coins, then promptly give an impaired item a straight grade because it is worth a lot of money. That&#039;s called hypocrisy. In the case of one piece, we aren&#039;t talking about something obscure, but something that has been documented many times over a century or two.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, if it&#039;s good enough for NGC &amp; PCGS to slab impaired coins, then giving some &#039;lower&#039; tier graders credence would be in order. The two top graders are where they are primarily through marketing.</p><p><br /></p><p>As always, buy the coin, not the label (unless you just want to maximise the average grade of a registry set)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
