[QUOTE="Speedy, post: 70029, member: 705"]When I think about grades not being the same but being the same....I think of it like this...we may have a Barber Half Dollar that has good detail and would grade F...but it is soo good that it is almost better than F but its not...I call that a high end F...when I think of a grade that is the same but not the same at the same time I think of high and low end grades... Luster...eye appeal and many other things would come into this too... Sorry but I hope that we never get to the place where we have computers telling us what our coins grade.... I'm sorry to say that most of the grading Co....PCGS/NGC/ANACS and more seem to grade key dates higher than they should be...I have seen this happen and don't like it...if a coin grades VG it should be VG not matter if there is only a hand full known...it should be VG if that is the ONLY one known...but today our grading Co. play favorites and a computer isn't going to change that...a person who can fiddle with a computer can figure out how to make them grade their coins better than Joe Brown down the road...
