<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 651265, member: 11521&quot;]There are a number of &quot;self-slabbers&quot; who sell the coins they slab and do not accept coins from the public to grade. Do you see a conflict of interest there? Do you think the self-slabbers tend to grade their coins much higher than a disinterested TPG? (You bet your life they do.)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There are also a number of &quot;third world&quot; grading companies who attract business by overgrading the coins they slab. An MS-67 in their slab may be an MS-62 or 63 (or lower) in a PCGS or NGC slab. They also tend to slab problem coins (e.g., cleaned, altered surfaces, etc.) that the legitimate TPGs would either body bag or slab as &#039;Genuine&#039;. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Always remember this - BUY THE COIN, NOT THE SLAB.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
