<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NPCoin, post: 619776, member: 5629&quot;]Neither of these organizations educate the community.&nbsp; Bad choice of words I used, maybe, but neither of them will helpfully identify problems and how it affects the grade of a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Non-gradeable&quot; is not part of the standard I use.&nbsp; Regardless of the problem with the coin, the coin&#039;s condition is something that should always be able to be opinionated.&nbsp; Problems, highlights, exceptional attributes, et al, are items that should be appended in comment to the grade given.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll stop at that, as this is neither a grade debate thread, nor a TPG bash session, but I will still hold to the opinion that both NGC and PCGS are useless to the hobby as they are currently implemented, and it&#039;s nice to see a TPG coin able to be useful as an overall learning experience.</p><p><br /></p><p>As regards to &quot;looking up&quot; the issue for the coin, there is no reason why it cannot be printed directly on the label.&nbsp; Not every collector, or up and coming collector, utilizes the internet for their hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
