<p>[QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2342719, member: 71723"]In the ANA's grading courses as they are taught now, they don't even insist on their own (technical) standards as in the guide (7th). They use them ONLY as a starting point and then dive headlong into modern market grading. I swear, man. They've been doing it since the late 1990's, when I took both <i>Grading Coins Today (</i>notice the third word there) and <i>Grading Mint State Coins. </i>The ANA itself has literally stepped back from their own guides, insisting instead that they are but one waypoint (the technical grading one) on the way to truth.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
