Do you really believe that only the bottom 5% of the coin are either
overgraded or more importantly ugly....coins that buyers should be
protected from?

I believe that probably about 80% or 90% of the coins I have seen in
holders are coins that I absolutely would not recommend for anyone.
Sorry but that's how I see it.

I have found that perhaps 25% of PCGS and NGC coins are nice enough to
be sold to a collector at above wholesale prices. The
rest seem to languish in wholesale inventories for years, perhaps
selling to the "cheap slab" bargain hunter after the slabs have
accumulated so many scuffs from handling that the problems are
obscured.

Well, did anyone see all these hairlined coins in PCGS 66 slabs at the
FUN show?

We where at the booth quite often and the coins where there to view to any
one who asked to see them, and we where always able to be in cell phone
contact.

As you know Mike and I where there to work and not to display TPG
over-grades as our prominent reason.. Mike was able to grade many coins in
TPG holders that where over graded or sticker some that where the correct
grade and detect some raw counterfeits.

I will tell you the many coin grading experts saw my over graded coins and
where quite displeased at the over grading

I'm still wondering about this grade-it. When were the coins dipped?
Who is Mike?
