Message:: [QUOTE="Insider, post: 2334056, member: 24314"]From what I hear/seen/know this is basically true in most cases; however, in a case of "major" damage they will admit to it as it cannot be denied. I was told by one TPG that in many instances he has left a note in the computer of any form of mishandling in case there is ever a claim. I the past, I have been invited to visit the inside of two grading rooms.  The floors at both were carpeted and one even had pads wrapped around the metal legs of the Silver Eagle Grading Station!   To my knowledge NO; but that is easily checked.   BINGO!  cpm9ball can be relied upon for excellent advice again.      Absolute nonsense!  Certain Professionals get to handle/grade the $$$$ but they are human too.  ALL COINS go into the grading room from a 2010 State quarter to an 1804 dollars!   IMO, 100% correct. One last "story" I heard from one of the "horse's" at a TPGS that cracked all of us up at the time.  About once or twice a year he would hear something like "Opps oh oh" from one of the graders who is no longer there. Also.  TPGS's need to be on guard for scammers.  I have heard that employees preparing the submissions for the graders at   one service make notes on their computer when they observe things like a staple scratch on a coin BEFORE it is removed from its 2X2.   Makes sense.[/QUOTE]
