<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rawbuyer, post: 1066807, member: 27213&quot;]never said that tpg&#039;s were bad, but one should first use there own judgement when grading a coin. i do admit, though, for determining an authentic coin vs a fake i do believe they have a place in the collecting world, as the fakes are just so well made. i plan on bidding in the heritage currency auction, and yes i do see the grade first when seeing the note, but i use my own judgement as to whether or not i agree with it. i remember when tpg&#039;s came about....there was a coin dealer in danbury, ct that stated that buyers and sellers could buy coins sight unseen because of the uniformity of the grading process. don&#039;t believe that that thought process has worked out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
