[QUOTE="St Gaudens collector, post: 5135027, member: 96473"]JA quit or got sacked at 2 grading companies and started on this Quixotic quest to shame them over expanding the grading scale. The industry feeling was that there was a huge concentration of coins at 64 and none at 66 or 67. Anyway, he has always had this vendetta and peculiar obsession over saints. Most hard core saint collectors understand he is out of his mind and ignore him. He will bump a full grade or more for luster & we are generally 'technical' collectors rather than market graders. BTW....The TPG's have done a great job grading saints. What you see for sale are mistakes that remain unsold for years. Look at people's collections for representative grade examples. He is good with proof coins & some other stuff. (not early copper)[/QUOTE]
