<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 448109, member: 112&quot;]Conder I have said pretty much the same thing for as long as I have known you, since around 2000, 2001. Maybe I haven&#039;t said in quite the same way though.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for recommending it to newbies - I think you know I always prefer the ANA guide. But in the real world of coins, they don&#039;t use the ANA guide. NGC doesn&#039;t even have a guide so the PCGS guide is about all there is left. So if a newbie wants to have even a basic understanding of how the TPG&#039;s grade coins, that&#039;s what they have to work with.</p><p><br /></p><p>I mean face it, if anyone is going to be active in this hobby and buy coins, they need to have some sort of understanding of how the TPG standards work. Problem is, they don&#039;t - because few actually <u>read</u> the book.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
