<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mark Feld, post: 627478, member: 11467&quot;]I am not confusing collectors with investors. My comments regarding the grading abilities of &quot;collectors&quot; (and some dealers) were just that. And I stand by them. The fact that a collector knows what he likes and what he dislikes, doesn&#039;t necessarily have anything to do with his grading abilities. That said, I firmly believe that collectors should buy what they like and not buy what they dislike. But I hope they do so in an informed fashion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, there are different grading standards and grading is subjective. But, for example, when most knowledgeable numismatists (collectors and/or dealers) would grade a particular coin either MS65 or MS66 and someone else grades it AU58, his &quot;standard&quot; is off/wrong. Or if you prefer, it&#039;s so different as to be meaningless with respect to other standards.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
