    Then Cammys collection of sample slabs would be worthless!!!!
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    I would turn to the bottle since my life would be meaningless.

    What would happen to David Hall? Would Cammy and him open a new grading service where Cammy can have all the sample slabs we wants?

    It would mean that the U.S. economy has collapsed and society as we know it has ceased to exist. Having a coin graded would be the last thing on my mind. I can see one shutting it's doors, but never all three grading houses.

    People would realize grades are only opinions. Prices would drop significantly because a seller could not justify the price. More people could afford very nice collections. Joe

    I meant which TPG would you turn to. In other words, who's #4 on your list?

    If I had to absolutely have them graded at gun point--then I would turn to ICCS.

    I know they grade Canadian and foreign, I guess I am presuming they grade American coins.

    They do a good job--don't much care for the holders, though.

    I would do what I do now when buying raw coins - use my experience and judgement, and in a real pinch Photograde, since most of my stuff is older circulated material.
