<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1847975, member: 112&quot;]I see what might, or might not, be one - can&#039;t tell for sure by looking at pictures.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let me add this. If a person is not 100% confident in their own abilities to identify problem coins, fakes, and accurately grade coins - in other words their own abilities to do what the TPGs do - then when they see a TPG result that they question, don&#039;t understand, or agree with, then they should be asking themselves - why did this happen ? Why did the TPG make this particular determination ?</p><p><br /></p><p>For the most part the TPGs are very good at identifying problem coins and fakes. And the vast majority of the time when they identify a coin as such they are correct. Do they make mistakes ? &#039;Course they do, as I mentioned above they have consistency problems. But PCGS has slabbed over 20 million coins, so even if they have made mistakes on hundreds of thousands of them, that is still only a tiny percentage that are mistakes. That means most of the time you should be accepting what they say as being accurate and be asking yourself - why didn&#039;t I see that ? What did I miss ?</p><p><br /></p><p>Make note, I am not talking about grading here. I am talking about them identifying problem coins and fakes - and only that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
