<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1861876, member: 15309&quot;]It is worth mentioning that Doug&#039;s advice applies to every TPG including PCGS &amp; NGC.&nbsp; Doug grades every coin as if it were raw, and if he does not agree with the grade on the holder, he won&#039;t consider buying it at the price of the higher grade.&nbsp; It also explains why he doesn&#039;t collect coins anymore, because he so rarely agrees with a TPG grade, that it is almost impossible for him to purchase a coin.&nbsp; I actually think his methodology is sound advice for those with expert level grading skills, but I think those people are exceedingly rare, and I think Doug is by far the most conservative grader that I have ever encountered, EVER!</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not trying to speak for him mind you, and I would expect that if I have missed the mark in any way, he will be by in the morning to clean up any mess that I have just made.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
