<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 7838907, member: 24314&quot;]A major problem is that grading is a PERSONAL thing and many folks have different standards than those of the TPGS.&nbsp; My<span style="color: #b30000"> personal</span> standards are very different from any TPGS.&nbsp; That&#039;s because grading standards have changed dramatically over time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Commercial grading (value) is complicated and takes experience in the market (buying and selling on a daily basis).&nbsp; That&#039;s why two identical coins are graded differently because of &quot;market factors&quot; such as quality of the luster.&nbsp; For example, the designation of PL/DMPL is really screwed up and depends on the date of the coin not the depth of its mirror.&nbsp; The majority of collectors do not know how to &quot;market grade.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, Baseball is correct.&nbsp; Study TPGS slabs to learn the prevailing grading standard.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
