<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mainebill, post: 1982452, member: 44004&quot;]Another major reason for grading companies is the flood of fake crap coming over from china. I stated collecting before tpgs long before the Internet and the floods of fakes on feebay. One of my major focuses is trade dollars. Being graded is the ONLY way I&#039;ll buy them without seeing in hand. It&#039;s extremely hard for me to find problem free coins with good color even graded and at the major auctions. Without this confidence to buy online I&#039;d never be able to find what I&#039;m looking for. The grading companies not only help people who are knowledgable about coins and can grade them selfs buy sight unseen. But also help newer collectors who haven&#039;t acquired the knowledge be able to buy coins and not get burned with all the fake garbage out there now. I&#039;m all for the grading companies I just wish pcgs would get a little more consistent[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
