<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RoslynT, post: 729033, member: 19660&quot;]<b>Great Article</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Charmy - thanks for giving us a preview and I really enjoyed your article! I have one suggestion to add if you believe its worthwhile --it seems that the TPGs have been known to grade a key date coin maybe a little higher than it should be.&nbsp; Do you agree that this seems to be the trend?&nbsp; Your article provides good advice for newbies and knowing this little tidbit might be useful when they are comparing coins graded by the same TPG side by side and scratching their heads as to why one coin is an AU-58 and another that is a key date and looks no better than the AU-58 but gets the MS-62.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I too have been trying to improve my grading skills and <u>Making the Grade</u> is an excellent book that I just purchased.&nbsp; And the philosophy &quot;buy the coin, not the holder&quot; certainly bears repeating in an article like yours!!&nbsp; Bravo! :bow:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
