<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 2016705, member: 3726&quot;]I like this topic to just see what others think.&nbsp; I think it does exist at times on some of the cracked out coins and newer submissions.&nbsp; Some of them are just worth the cost of cracking and submitting to see what happens.&nbsp; I just do not think the tpgs are as consistent as they used to be - both NGC and PCGS. So it may seem like gradeflation.&nbsp; As some of the one of kinds - it does not really matter because the cost is going to be decided by the buyers.</p><p><br /></p><p>All I know is if in a tab hold(don&#039;t care NGC or PCGS) it requires closer inspection.&nbsp; Not that I do not do the same for the older holders - just more careful.&nbsp; Some of the new coins making it into full grade holders are problem coins in my opinion(at least what I collect).</p><p><br /></p><p>Also the same for coins with a well know collectors name on the slab. These also require closer inspection. One of the reasons I have not bought some of the coins from some of the bigger collections, not just the premium, but the coins were over graded and not worth the bump in cost. </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course the bottom line is if I think the coin is worth the cost. Keep in mind I do not pretend to be smarter or know more than the TPG&#039;s but I think I know what I want a coin to look like for a certain grade. Just a humble opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
