<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 696684, member: 4920&quot;]If we were to take it to a popular vote, I lose. No, I get smashed.

Let&#039;s first just clear that up. That&#039;s different, IMHO.</p><p><br /></p><p>You guys are pressing me on this, and it&#039;s hard for me to discuss it much further, because I don&#039;t exactly know what their &quot;system&quot; is. By that, I mean, I don&#039;t know exactly where they like to make the cuts and the calls on the grading checkpoints, or, i.e., on how they like to go about striking the balance on these criteria. But, assuming, for purposes of general discussion,&nbsp; I did. And, again, assume I had their market resources. In other words, you&#039;ve got an 1881-S Morgan Dollar, here, to grade? And, these are the grading checkpoints we look at? And, this is our system, how we need you to weigh those diverse, qualitative, criteria, in order to arrive at your grade? And, here are 100 (...hell, why stop there, make that 1000) slabbed 1881-S Morgan Dollars, all at various grades, as a learning tool, and example of how we&#039;d prefer you to make those cuts and calls...study them? Got the hang of it, yet? Ready to move on to some of the other dates and mints, now? Another series of coin, perhaps? I don&#039;t know, guys. I still think you&#039;re making way too much of these supposed &quot;skills.&quot; I&#039;m sorry. I&#039;m really struggling to keep an open mind, here, too, as your opinions do carry a lot of weight with me. But, I&#039;m not persuaded...</p><p><br /></p><p>PS: Again, I think they&#039;re very good at what they do, should that mean anything...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
