<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jack D. Young, post: 8063054, member: 93371&quot;]A friend in another forum asked how often do TPGs certify bad coins?</p><p><br /></p><p>There are several ways to approach an answer to this...</p><p><br /></p><p>One is the path I took that the number is low as a percentage of the total coins certified.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another is to say they are paid professionals and the goal of course is zero- but how many is too many and a problem?</p><p><br /></p><p>1? 10? 100?</p><p><br /></p><p>How about 70!</p><p><br /></p><p>Some may ask what difference does it make, the TPGs stand behind their decisions with their guarantee- as long as you keep the coin in the original slab.</p><p><br /></p><p>In any case the answer should include some data, and although I don&#039;t have the number of coins reviewed/ certified I do have the number of bad coins certified/ &quot;authenticated&quot; I have documented over the past 5 &quot;Dark Side&quot; years.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, I have created a chart of the ones I have recorded with totals for 5 TPGs in order by the total they certified. The 5th is a grouping of a couple of the lesser/ no longer functioning ones.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1397693[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
