<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bzcollektor, post: 99275, member: 3241&quot;]Some of us already fullfill this function just by giving our opinions. Who would qualify a grading panel?&nbsp; Who is an expert?&nbsp; Different coins need experts in that particular series. I consider myself a pretty good grader in all US coins.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; I consider myself an expert grader in Morgan dollars. That said, I am sure that, everytime I give an opinion regarding Morgan dollars that someone else will will have another opinion. Who is to say that my opinion trumps theirs?</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; You must also consider photo manipulation.&nbsp; I can take a pic of a Morgan dollar, and depending on how I choose to present it, you can`t tell if it is an AU58 or an MS65 DMPL by the pic. Unless I want you to.</p><p>&nbsp; The last consideration is, **** poor pics. Many, if not most, pics presented here for our grading opinion, leave much to be desired.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; I wish we could have a grading panel here, if only to save our fellow collectors here from wasting money to submit &quot;wishfull thinking&quot; coins to the TPG`s. There is no way to implement this.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I believe we have the best possible alternative as it is. Us.&nbsp; We will always do our best to give our opinions, and tell you why. I may not be here every day (or every month for that matter) but someone will. Usually a bunch will.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I will try to be here more often than I have been latly. I love answering questions, and giving opinions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
