<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ToughCOINS, post: 1999810, member: 20480&quot;]Labeling one&#039;s service as a second party grading service is not good.&nbsp; The term third party grading was coined to represent that the grading service is truly objective, and has no financial interest in the grade assigned to the submitted coin, since the grading service is neither the buyer nor the seller. </p><p><br /></p><p>The label &quot;second party grader&quot; potentially reflects an awareness that the second party in any transaction is necessarily either the buyer or seller, and that the grader being one of those two parties therefore can, while appearing to be objective, influence the grade to its advantage, whether selling or buying subject coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
