<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1878969, member: 15309&quot;]Why do you let him bother you so much?&nbsp; The claims that he makes that all of those other dealers who ignore the grades given by the TPG&#039;s are complete bunk, they don&#039;t.&nbsp; He mentioned that Tom Bush usually grades coins 2 grades lower than the TPG&#039;s.&nbsp; I have been interacting with TomB on this forum, NGC, and the PCGS forum for over 5 years and I can tell you that is not true.&nbsp; While Tom may be a little more conservative than the TPGs, nobody employs grading standards as punitive as Doug.&nbsp; His opinions on grading are so radical that he is tantamount to the lunatic fringe on the subject.</p><p><br /></p><p>You know how to grade Morgan Dollars.&nbsp; You understand how the TPGs grade Morgan Dollars.&nbsp; I see no need for you to chase Doug&#039;s seal of approval on your grading skills.&nbsp; I got news for you, I expect Doug to grade almost every coin 1-2 grades below the TPG.&nbsp; And it has nothing to do with gradeflation or the perceived change in grading standards.&nbsp; I have shown many NGC graded coins in old fatty slabs over the years that he has undergraded as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the coin in question in the OP, there was only one person who thought the coin wouldn&#039;t grade because of a severe bagmark, and he was wrong![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
