<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 2023199, member: 15309&quot;]I don&#039;t disagree with you simply to disagree with you, that is preposterous.&nbsp; In fact, I typically go out of my way to avoid confrontations with you.&nbsp; But our numismatic views are so divergent that it is essentially impossible to avoid debate.</p><p><br /></p><p>The perception of the members of this forum is that you think almost every TPG graded coin is overgraded by 1 or 2 points, and it is not a small group of members who think that.&nbsp; If you would like to change that perception, stop saying that every coin is overgraded. </p><p><br /></p><p>With regards to me agreeing with the TPGs, I will often defer to their judgement for two reasons.&nbsp; First, they are professional graders and have seen and graded far more coins than I ever will.&nbsp; Second, and most importantly, they have seen the coin in hand whereas all I have is a photo on the internet.&nbsp; No matter how good the photo, it is no substitute for an in hand inspection.&nbsp; I know that you will agree with that.&nbsp; However, that does not mean that I blindly agree with every decision made by the TPGs.&nbsp; This thread is a perfect example, I disagree with their decision that these coins are problem coins.&nbsp; When is the last time I disagreed with the TPGs?&nbsp; How about two weeks ago:&nbsp; <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/how-on-earth-could-pcgs-have-graded-this-coin-problem-free.254865/page-2" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/how-on-earth-could-pcgs-have-graded-this-coin-problem-free.254865/page-2">How on earth could PCGS have graded this coin problem free</a>&nbsp; I even laughed when you posted a sky is falling meme after my post.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t try to make this a personal thing, it isn&#039;t, I just disagree with what you are saying in the thread.&nbsp; And for the record, who are the other members in this thread who agree with you about the machine damage?&nbsp; I saw a few members early in the thread guessing as to why the TPGs would say these are problem coins, but the overwhelming majority of responses think that there is nothing wrong with either coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
