<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1016726, member: 15309&quot;]I don&#039;t recall Doug ever criticizing my Jefferson collection.&nbsp; If anything, he criticizes the grading standards employed by the TPG&#039;s.&nbsp; Doug simply has different opinions than most collectors including myself.&nbsp; And although I may not agree with him on many occasions, I do respect his opinions and usually understand his point of view.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think that Shane&#039;s point is that because of Doug&#039;s title and post count on this forum, many of the newbies will automatically assume that he is an expert and they will automatically lend more weight to his opinion.&nbsp; When I first joined this forum, I felt exactly the same way.&nbsp; Disagreeing with Doug was almost sacrilegious.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I tend to lend weight to the opinions of those who I consider specialists in a particular area.&nbsp; There is nobody on this forum with more experience in the toned coin market than Shane, including myself.&nbsp; On the subject of toned coins, I would defer to Shane&#039;s judgement most of the time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
