[QUOTE="treylxapi47, post: 1912444, member: 41863"]This, this, this, and a million times this. The problem is that I hold people of power to higher standards. NGC and PCGS both know many of their coins end up in collectors hands who arent properly educated, and at the end of the day they are taking advantage of that by grading unacceptable coins as 'market acceptable' or 'problem-free', which is a cop out in my eyes, and I just have a hard time rallying behind businesses like that. Do I buy their products, well sure, but I ALWAYS question whats on the outside from the moment I lay my eyes on a coin. I also try to shout this tactic from the roof tops because as a collector I know many other collectors are being taken advantage of all the time and its ridiculous. ALWAYS make your own assessment of the coin and make sure it meets YOUR standard, not anyone elses.[/QUOTE]
