[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 655807, member: 112"]Very true Crusty - I have posted many times with comparison pics to specifically illustrate that fact. But let's not forget, the opposite can also be true. Pics can be accurate. And there are plenty of times when a picture can show that a coin has been over-graded. To put blind faith in the TPG's is a mistake.
