<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1155299, member: 112&quot;]I think a lot of it has to do with what the accepted practices were when the TPGs were first formed. For decades before there were TPGs, coins that did not have a clear date simply were not graded, by anybody. Actually, I like the idea and always have. </p><p><br /></p><p>The general rules that the numismatic community has regarding what coins can be graded and what coins cannot be graded were established long before the TPGs came along. Rules like not grading problem coins, like not grading coins without clear dates, like not grading coins that are unidentifiable - those rules were merely adopted by the TPGs because that has always been the accepted practice. And if you think about it, they all make sense.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
