<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 116204, member: 112&quot;]The two companies don&#039;t have the same standards on any grade. And in my opinion there is no break point. It is also my opinion that the number of 70 grades assigned by PCGS is also the single greatest indicator of their lack of consistentcy. Anyone who does a close study of the actual coins can see this with their own eyes.</p><p><br /></p><p>And I mean a study of just the coins graded by PCGS. Go through a few hundred of any modern you choose with all of them graded as 69 by PCGS. Have a couple of 70&#039;s for comparison. You&#039;ll find at least 25%, maybe 50% of the 69&#039;s that can&#039;t be distinguished from the 70&#039;s. You can do the same thing with just about any grade you choose, but to a lesser degree. That is what is meant by consistency.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do the same study with a group of coins graded by NGC - you&#039;ll get an entirely different result. They actually are consistent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
