<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2600450, member: 112&quot;]I would pass on one word of warning regarding grading done by European dealers in general. While they are as a general rule pretty good when it comes to whether a coin has wear on it or not, they often seem to have a different idea when it comes to problem coins, specifically harsh cleaning. I have seen almost countless numbers of coins over the years sold by European dealers that had at some point been harshly cleaned but yet there was no mention of it, at all, in the coin&#039;s description. It was almost as if the harsh cleaning simply didn&#039;t matter, that it was perfectly acceptable, when determining grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I am trying to get across is that it doesn&#039;t matter who has assigned the grade to a coin you are considering buying, a US TPG or a European dealer. You must still closely examine the coin yourself and make your own determination as to whether it is acceptable or not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
