<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgandude11, post: 1455301, member: 37839&quot;]Doug, I would agree with absolutely everything you say in your above response to me, except for one thing.&nbsp; The TPGs are the &quot;FINAL WORD&quot; in terms of coin marketability, other than the consumer/dealer interaction.&nbsp; They do a huge amount to set a price for grade by establishing a grading standard that is less subjective than it was prior to their existence, IMHO.&nbsp;&nbsp; Does this change the true appearance of any one coin?&nbsp; No, but it does set financial parameters, and if one wants to be in the market and be a buyer, ya gotta &quot;belly up to the bar&quot; and pay the price, or not buy the coin.&nbsp; The ungraded market is obviously an alternative, but as many have said before, a far more volatile market.&nbsp; Just one experienced collector&#039;s opinion, and far from gospel.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
