<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheMont, post: 2471582, member: 80121&quot;]I don&#039;t think the major TPG Services can really tell if a coin has been submitted before unless it has a distinguishing mark, such as bag marks on a Morgan Dollar or particular different toning that they can identify. I think you&#039;re giving them to much credit, they see&nbsp; millions of coins, have different graders working for them, and two graders give their opinion with a third finalizer. Do you really think these people can take the time or actually remember a coin that they may have seen before?</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s why people crack them out, hoping a different set of graders will be in a better mood (Friday not Monday) and increase the grade. They even tried computer grading and that didn&#039;t work, I repeat grading is subjective not objective.</p><p><br /></p><p>How many times have they claimed something has &quot;details&quot; because it looks to good to them or &quot;altered surfaces&quot; because the toning is to good. I just read an issue of Numismatic News were F. Michael Fazzari went over some of the grading errors made by the big three services. Humans make mistakes, sometimes in our favor, sometimes in their favor.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
