<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 644258, member: 2972&quot;]So there&#039;s no such thing as a PQ raw coin?&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>In my opinion, there are coins that are &quot;PQ&#039; and there are coins that are &quot;PQ for the grade&quot;, and it is the latter that Ron is alluding to in the Q&amp;Al.&nbsp; Which was the point I was getting at with my (loaded) question.</p><p><br /></p><p>Said another way, just because the TPG overgraded a coin, doesn&#039;t make it any less PQ, it just makes it overgraded.&nbsp; Provided the coin is priced commensurate with the quality, why does a number on a slab mean anything?&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>PQ is a term made up by sellers (oftentimes correctly, but more often incorrectly) to justify a higher price on a slabbed coin, plain and simple.&nbsp; Collectors don&#039;t use that term -- they use terms like &quot;choice&quot; or &quot;good for the grade&quot; -- or at least they didn&#039;t before the TPG game came into being.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
