<p>[QUOTE="panzerman, post: 26778297, member: 77704"]Certification is great for classic cars. If you buy a 67 corvette thats NCRS 98.9 means its 100% numbers matching, and perfect like off assembly line, if not better. Same for restomods like my 58 vette. Here it was completely rebuilt from frame up, everything brand new, classic body, interior, chrome on modern drivetrain, 600 HP LS-4 under the hood.</p><p>For coins its a problem. TPG slabs make people go gaga, they really think a MS-65 GEM is the cats meow, while that same overgraded coin might get a GEF grade from CNG, Künker, Morton & Eden, and hammer much lower. TPG coins are great for the consignee but not for the buyer. I have proved it myself, I missed a MS-65 Napoleon 1812-A 20 Francs (Heritage) went 5600US. Same coin reappeared in German auction, did not sell. I bought said coin as unsold lot for 1800E. The German firm stated, 1812-A 20 Francs fast st.= AU but in US slab MS-65!!!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
