<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1066195, member: 26302&quot;]To the OP, PCGS and NGC are supposed to be the monitoring bodies, guaranteeing you that the grade the dealer lists is the correct grade. To me, your experiences just prove the fallacy of their argument. Everyone knows there are many coins overgraded out there, as any undergraded ones are quickly cracked out and resubmitted. The net effect of this is that the highest grade you can hope for in a slab is the correct grade, with a very high likelihood it is overgraded.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only solution? Learn to grade and buy the coin, not the slab. Only buy the coin in person. These are the EXACT things slabs were created to prevent, so tell me, what purpose have they served except to make the grading companies rich? I will grant them the guarantee of a coin being genuine, that is true, but short of that all TPG companies have done is facilitated lazy collectors and allowed shady dealers to sell poor quality coins at inflated prices.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know, &quot;but Chris, how do you really feel&quot;, right?</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
