[QUOTE="airedale, post: 192355, member: 4695"]I borrowed this from another forum. I hope the author will not mind but he spent good money to compare apples to apples. Click on the link, the same coin in 5 different holders. This person certainly has a wonderful idea that would benefit the collecting community. [url]http://www.flaminio.com/temp/wash.htm[/url] [I]Some newbie had bought into the PNG surveys and made the following statement:[/I] [I]That is exactly what the PNG has done - they have also published a couple of TPG reviews that are worth a look...[/I] This was his answer: Not exactly what the PNG survey is. That's just the opinions of a bunch of dealers, with expected results. A real test would be to take 30 or so sample coins and send them around anonymously to the various services, and see what comes back. I did this with one coin a few years back. I don't have the resources to do a proper test, but if someone like the PNG or ANA would step up and do it, it'd be very beneficial to the community.[/QUOTE]
