However, trying to say there are people who can identify a 64.9 versus 65.1 is giving WAY too much precision to the process. I can go to any coin show and find 10 coins in under an hour that are severely overgraded in a major slab. Easily. If there are so many overgraded TPG slabs out there, is it REALLY that easy to identify 2 coins by such tiny measures? Evidently even the professionals cannot get within a whole grade all of the time. Since all coins are unique, I don't think its as simple as you are leading everyone to believe.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having said that, collect whatever. IDC what people collect.
