<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 543328, member: 112&quot;]The systems are different than what the TPG&#039;s use, of that there is no doubt. But some of the differences are rather glaring. Using the European system for example, there is no accounting for a coin that has been harshly cleaned. In other words, a coin that would be body-bagged here, they don&#039;t even mention it because they don&#039;t care if it&#039;s been harshly cleaned. And often times, they think nothing of a coin that is damaged - depending on severity of course. But they let things pass that would not pass here.</p><p><br /></p><p>And some will say that we have more grades than they do. Well, not really. They just use adjectival grades where we use numbers. About the only difference comes into play in the MS grades, there we do have more than them, but just barely.</p><p><br /></p><p>But if you were to use ANA grading standards, you would find that there really is little difference. That is because ANA standards are more strict than those used by the TPG&#039;s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
