OK, but the discussion and my answer was specifically focused on Conder's book -
Sorry Paul, but date of the PCGS book being published has nothing to do with why I say that the TPGs loosened their grading standards in 2004, nor...
Sorry Mike, but they don't make any such claim.
There's 2 different issues being mentioned in the last several posts, but they are both separate issues that have nothing to do with each other....
Not in Conder's book there isn't. There is one and only one PCGS 5.

Were you around when he published the first book ? I was. I waited 6 years after he first started talking about it being published. I've been...

Oh I knew that, that's what made me laugh so hard.
Main thing I wanted to know is if it was easier to for you to see the effects in hand.
In his book Conder only lists a PCGS 5. There is no 5.1 or 5.2, just the 5. The PCGS 5 isn't like the PCGS 6 which comes in two types - 6.1 and 6.2.
LOL ! Play the victim card ? Really ?? Don't make me laugh that hard, please. It hurts :D
And therein lies the problem in your thinking. What the dealer has to look at in regard to the bullion is what he can sell that bullion for. The...
