<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1446310, member: 26302&quot;]That would kind of depend on the dentist though, right? How about a dentist who is short of money and needs to pay a college tuition, are you going to trust him if he tells you he needs a root canal? </p><p><br /></p><p>I will believe the grade assigned by many here over that of a TPG. You should too if you wish to understand how coins used to be graded. Some MS63&#039;s I would not grade higher than a AU55, if that. If you wish to understand historical auction prices, you are kidding yourself if all you know how to do is replicate current TPG grading. To say US coins are overgraded is so well known it doesn&#039;t even need to be spoken to those who understand how coins were graded for centuries before TPGers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry sir, but we participated in a &quot;guess the grade&quot; just a couple of weeks ago. You guessed I believe 2 grades too high, and I was the first to guess the correct grade. Why are you calling me and other members here just &quot;random hobbyists&quot;? I believe if you learn who is who you will find some exceptionally talented numismatists here, (not including myself, I was just illustrating a point, heck I don&#039;t even collect US anymore).</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
