[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 2156310, member: 27832"]My point is that these same arguments apply to impaired coins. Or overgraded coins. Yes, people die, or leave the hobby for other reasons. Yes, their coins -- good coins, bad coins, fantasy coins, counterfeits -- can lose provenance information. The bad side of this is that a naive buyer can overpay for a coin without realizing that it's cleaned, or damaged, or a fantasy issue. (The good side, of course, is that a knowledgeable buyer can cherry-pick.) I still fail to see how Mr. Carr's products pose a danger different in kind or degree from these other things that we all implicitly accept.[/QUOTE]
