Are you including yourself in that group or are you among the elite that can grade coins with incredible accuracy and consistency? Saying that it is just an opinion doesn't make it any less offensive, IMO.</p><p><br /></p><p>The opinion of a TPG is not a gimmick; it is an professional opinion that is more often than not, correct. Re-read my initial post. Most coin collectors can accurately grade a coin with in a 3 grade range, but they can't accurately hit the actual grade. The TPG's take away the guessing game that causes conflict between buyers and sellers and provides stability in the marketplace. Slab coins don't cost more than raw coins, buyers are simply unwilling to believe the grade assigned to the raw coin by the dealer thus driving the price down.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
