<p>[QUOTE="MKent, post: 2085144, member: 33625"]If a coin is sent in in the slab couldn't or wouldn't they be able to tell owned the coin, especially if it had been in a registry set? I don't know a lot about the TPG companies but it seems the majority only think PCGS and NGC are worthy of owning and now those seem to be in doubt. How can a novice purchase a graded coin from any company with confidence when they have only a rudimentary ability to grade coins to an exact number (say a 65 rather than 64 or 66) rather than just knowing it is Gem over Choice. I often read the GTG post and give my HO sometimes I'm right other times I may be off 1 point up or down. I know I'm not near the expert a lot of you are, but I am studying hard and have even bought the same coin in 3 different grades to try and learn more, but it is difficult at least to me to see the one point or the plus that given one coin over another. I admire the ability most on here seem to have.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
