<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coinguy-matthew, post: 1575734, member: 35762&quot;]I think alot of people get upset when the grade on the slab does not match the technical grade of the coin, a coin can have everything it needs to be a MS65 but still receive a MS64. The reason being that although TPGs would like you to think they are grading coins they are not, they are putting a suggested value on the coin. Truth be told you could line up 10 MS65s and 10 MS64s and no one would be able to grade them accurately every time. They follow market trends and feedback to come up with standards of how coins are valued and i think it has been for the better of the hobby. For example before TPGs I could search for many years for what would be considered a top pop by todays TPG standards but without pop reports and suggested values of coins in similar grades It would be no less valuable then a eye appealing uncirculated coin. Thus meaning all the hard work of finding the best of the best to represent my collection would not pay off when it came time to have to part ways with it, TPGs just help get that recognition and the most value for our beloved collections...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
