<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 24867687, member: 4920&quot;]Well of course they’re cheating! What do you think market grading is? It gives it to them on a silver platter, touchy-feely. Is it a pretty boy? Hell yeah it is, every bit! AU58 becomes MS64, just like that! Eye appeal, whose eyeballs determine that? Oh, but we’ve standards! Go on. Their market, there’s the only standard. Market grading is bullshit. “Complicated,” what are you, dreaming? What’s rather complicated is guessing what they think is pretty.</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with JA, they’re all over the place by now. But don’t tell me market grading is complicated. In PCGS’s own words, it’s “[a] numerical grade that matches the grade at which a particular coin generally is traded in the marketplace. <i>The grading standard used by PCGS</i>.” So tracking the market they think a beautiful AU58 could trade at MS64, guess what, it’s MS64. A scratch on an SVDB gets a pass. Oh, but you do it different. Well good for you. So do I. So does everyone, here. It’s what their market will shell out for, there’s the definition. And they’ve their finger on the pulse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
