In answer to the question posed in the title of this thread, "... which TPG?"; the answer is NONE. Learn to grade the coins that you collect yourself, and deal with dealers that you trust. You CANNOT rely on TPGs. Read some of the other threads that are posted about NGC and PCGS.
Thanks SJNebay, I buy a lot of coin's off the internet and sometimes the pic's r not the best, My local dealers don't have half of what I'm looking for.............so blah, blah, blah. Any way I depend on grades from TPG's a lot. I like matching holders. I said I'm A.D.D.. lol
I'm a firm believer in the old adage that goes something like this: figures lie and liers figure. You should know that you can prove anything with figures, as long as you get to choose where they come from. Having said this, I also believe that NGC , PCGS & ICG also play the same game.
