<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 2593037, member: 5233"]I don't think that's totally true...the TPG's are simply there to protect the uneducated. They have other uses as well. Although we might not always agree with their methods...they do provide a certain liquidity to coins that they otherwise wouldn't have. They also allow buyers online to have more faith in their purchase. As we have seen many times here on CT...it's hard to grade a coin from a photo even when someone is trying to photograph it as accurately as possible. Sometimes sellers photograph coins in ways that hide blemishes or other issues. That can still happen (and does) with a slabbed coin but there is less risk on the buyer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I prefer to buy coins online in slabs. I feel that it gives me more protection. Of course, I still closely examine the coin and decide that it's the right coin for me...but I get nervous spending much money on raw coins I can't view in hand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
