[QUOTE="EyeEatWheaties, post: 1066243, member: 26972"][B]Do not buy from eBay dealers who don't have pics on their listings of just the slab only, that is what they are selling, the slab not the coin. [/B] If you want consistent coins for the grade then you need to see the coin, correct? I have experienced and continue to crash course my learning of the TPG services. I only know copper Lincoln wheat cents. What I am finding is that the coin in relation to the grade [B]often[/B] diminishes with the certification number. The copper does and will turn in the slab. I also believe that the coins you buy from eBay are often not the best examples with in that grade. In other words, if I had duplicates, I would not sell the best one first. FWIW for wheaties 35-58 look for dealers who have multiples for sale as if they came from a roll. Also, that PCGS grade guarantee is exactly that, they will no longer guarantee color on copper coins. PCGS is very well known to have paid out a lot of money for coins overgraded. Question.. I should know this...How much is this service?[/QUOTE]
