<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1252218, member: 66"]If you talk to the dealers that are buying PM hand over fist you will find that they DON'T go through the stuff they are buying, they don't have the time. If they happen to see something while they are buy it they'll pull it but they can't take the time to search on the small chance they will find a cherry. It's just like it was back in 1980, what comes in during the day has to go right back out at 5 o'clock so they can get a check to cover the purchases they made that day.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>None of the TPG's have ever done a grade and slab while you watch deal. It used to be that ANACS and for awhile PCGS and NGC would give a verbal opinion, but they all stopped doing that because they were getting too many complaints about coins that came back not matching the verbal opinions.</p><p><br /></p><p>The major TPG's have handled BILLIONS of dollars worth of coins and made MILLIONS and MILLIONS of dollars grading them. Why in the world would they risk a cash cow like that by swapping out some collectors coin? The TPG's reputation for honesty handling collectors coins is something precious to them.
