<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 453989, member: 4626&quot;]Is what I&#039;ve firmly believed but have never been able to articulate that well!&nbsp; Though I don&#039;t think such behavior is limited to PCGS.</p><p><br /></p><p>This behavior of TPGs of deciding what gets a 70 and what doesn&#039;t based on how many coins they want to grade 70 and not based on the condition of the coin itself (if it meets their standards for a 70, it should get it, no matter how many 70&#039;s that means they&#039;ll be releasing) causes a disconnect between the assigned grade and the coin&#039;s actual condition.&nbsp; One more reason to stay away from slabbed coins... especially those graded 70 that sell for prices way out of proportion to what they really should be worth.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you can get a coin graded 69 that is almost as good as a 70... for a LOT less... why would you ever want to buy a coin graded 70?&nbsp; Unless you just want to buy your way into a registry (another big TPG scam IMO!).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
