[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 285164, member: 112"]And I would never have a problem with that Bone - except for one little thing. That is the problem with grading today - because [U]everybody[/U] uses a different set of grading standards. And if every owner used their own set of standards, or 1 of a half dozen others - just how meaningful is the grade that they assign to one of their coins ? Everbody always talks about how screwed the grading system is - about how screwed up the TPG's are. Well ya know why they are screwed up ? Because we, the collectors, keep it screwed up by insisiting on using our own grading standards. We all need to use the same set of standards pal.
