<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1446480, member: 26302&quot;]You are nicer than I am Doug, but I agree with your general point. </p><p><br /></p><p>Morgandude, if a person can blindly, (without looking at the slab grade), grade a coin in hand as repeatably as a TPG can, why do you have to say they have to submit coins to prove it? Remember, most TPG graders cannot 100% grade coins the same grades as their service gave, they are like 90% repeatable last I saw. You go to some large shows, be able to grade 90% of the time like they do the grade assigned, you are as good as the TPGer. Simple as that. </p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, there are people who can look at coins all day long and never understand the grade assigned. They will never be able to do it. Just because there are people like that, does not mean there are not people on this board, (some very successful dealers here as well), who cannot. I liken it to if I read a book on something say Byzantine anonymous bronzes. Do I have to take a test to prove I can identify types A through M, or am I capable of it without someone giving me a test?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
