<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 4024786, member: 19165&quot;]Raw coins in dealers cases are quite often overgraded and have numerous problems. You really have to be on your game with those. </p><p><br /></p><p>However, I think that the percentage of overgraded coins in TPG slabs is being wildly overstated. If you&#039;re still grading using standards from the 1950&#039;s, then perhaps - but that&#039;s not where we are. And you also have to realize, if you sold off your entire collection 15 years ago and stopped collecting coins, grading has continued to evolve. Grading by today&#039;s standards, I&#039;d put the overgraded pieces at no more than 10%. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, there are plenty of accurately graded coins that I wouldn&#039;t buy because I don&#039;t like them - but that doesn&#039;t mean they aren&#039;t graded properly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
