I think the "guess the grade" threads are good for practice and discussion. The point brought up here is interesting because often times we discuss our agreements and disagreements with TPGs, and whether or not they are grading loosely or tightly at a certain time.

When I am answering these questions, I sometimes make note of the grade I think a coin is and what I think the particular TPG may have assigned it. To understand the market, I think it is important both to be able to grade well on your own and to be able to understand how TPGs are grading coins according to market standards.
