<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3048191, member: 112&quot;]It&#039;s the use of words like perfect and flawless that gets everybody hung up. One has to understand that these words are relative terms and that they apply differently depending on what you are referring to when you use them. What would be a perfect or flawless gem stone is a completely different thing than a perfect or flawless coin. However, in both cases what the words really mean is that the item in question is merely as good as it can be for what it is. </p><p><br /></p><p>Is there a difference between grades ? Yes. Just like there is a difference between 63 and 65, there is a difference between 68 and 70, and also between 69 and 70. In the end it&#039;s pretty simple, a 70 is as good as it can be, and 69 almost is but not quite.</p><p><br /></p><p>The real variable that applies is the when TPG assigns a grade that is undeserved. In other words when they over-grade a coin. And when you throw in changing grading standards - well, the whole idea of grading at all just goes right out the window.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
