<p>[QUOTE="Cherd, post: 1469330, member: 24754"]But the explanation includes complete forgery and modification. It would be nice to be made aware of which determination was made. How long does it take to write out "this coin is a contemporary counterfeit" or "the S was added post mint". If the customers were educated enough to make the determination themselves, then they wouldn't have sent the coin to the TPG in the first place. The coin grader's expertise is ultimately what is being paid for. If their opinion is not made available, then where's the value?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
