[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1066673, member: 112"]On this I agree with you. Never in my entire life have I ever submitted a coin to any TPG because I never needed to do so. I was always perfectly capable of grading and authenticating the coin all by myself. And never once did I ever buy a slabbed coin where I did not agree with the assigned grade unless the price was appropriately reduced. However, for the thousands of collectors who do not have the ability to accurately grade and authenticate coins on their own - there is no better option than for them to use NGC and/or PCGS. And where did I ever say that they were objective ? I merely said that they, meaning NGC and PCGS, do not hand out grading favors. I will agree with you 100% that they both over-grade coins on a routine basis in today's world. But they will do that when it is 1 single coin submitted by a guy who has never submitted a coin before in his life or it is a dealer that submits 100,000 coins a year.[/QUOTE]
