Message:: [QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2296696, member: 36230"]Simply unbelievable.... Now just stop for a moment and THINK about what YOU said... this has nothing to do with being a collector, as you're most certainly more of one than I am, but is about plain common sense. Yes, I understood what you meant with the "untouched" thing, but that's also, by your own word, the argument you were thinking of presenting to a TPG which, in fact, would then mean that you expect a THIRD PARTY to take your word for it. Does this make any sense to you? Think of it from the other side; if you were to buy a slabbed coin, would you want the TPG's unbiased opinion, based upon facts, or would some likely BS claim or assumption fed to them from some unknown submitter suffice? Perhaps I should take a handful of early century Barbers and submit them with the claim they were in dear old grammie's purse during her Titanic voyage and subsequent rescue; do you think they should just take my word for it?  Like it or not, sometimes a very reasonable way to answer a question is with another question, and for some strange reason, I'm pretty sure you're smart enough to understand this. Unfortunately for me, I forgot to put my kid gloves on before posting, and for that I am terribly sorry.[/QUOTE]
