<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kirkuleez, post: 2025219, member: 36864&quot;]Without the coin in hand, I am purely speculating. </p><p>Though some would disagree with this statement, all grading companies do market grading to a point where they essentially assign a value to the coin more than giving the coin the technical grade. Nothing new about the practice really, but older, scarcer coins tend to get this treatment rather often. This is why learning how to grade and knowing the market for early (US) coins is essential. TPGs are useful for authentication, but there are several other things that would determine the value of the coin. In particular, cleaning, corrosion, color, overall eye appeal, strike quality and so on.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
