<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 357159, member: 6370&quot;]As have I, as well as misattributions. One could say they are due to human error, they look at a lot of coins, maybe they mistakenly encase a Roman coin in a slab meant for a Greek coin (the worse example I have seen). This is, of course, a mistake and is understandable when one is processing so many coins. I think it serves as a red flag when it comes to the fallibility of TPG companies who are, after all, only human and susceptible to all human flaws and bias. If a coin can be misattributed by mistake, a glaring error, how many more errors do they make that are not quite as glaring...I would bet quite a few in the realm of authentication and grading (and dont get me started on the cleaning thing). I have a finite amount of coins and can spend all the time I need studying my own coins. I am not trying to grade and slab X amount of coins each day to make a good turn around and I wont make a mistake. I am a do it yourself guy, its my hobby and as such I want to learn everything about all aspects of it that I can, I dont need to pay others to do something I can do myself. I can save the money and buy more coins!!!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now if I were selling coins and wanted to eek a few more bucks out of a coin, I might think of getting them slabbed so I can tack on an extra 20-30 bucks (or how ever much they do) to the price....naaaaaaaaah...never. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Back on topic now I guess.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
