<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 2018615, member: 15309&quot;]My point is that you and others of your ilk always harken back to the ANA standards since they were the original standards.&nbsp; If the market grading standards were created basically at the same time with assistance from those who started the TPGs, then the ANA standards can stake no claim of superiority.&nbsp; Grading changed across the board in 1986.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is the type of intellectually dishonest debate that you always resort to using when you see your case unravelling.&nbsp; The TPGs DID NOT, repeat DID NOT loosen standards across the board.&nbsp; Not in 2004 or any other year.&nbsp; You have never shown any proof that the loosening of standards ever happened.&nbsp; All of the changes employed by the TPGs were related to the expansion of market grading principles, eg. allowing for roll friction, grade bumps for toning and exceptional eye appeal, value grading of extreme rarities, net grading of coins with different grades on obverse/reverse etc.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>NGC has never published their standards, that is correct.&nbsp; I have looked at the coins and across a great many series, I don&#039;t see any difference at all in the way these two companies grade coins.&nbsp; Morgan Dollars are graded almost exactly the same with the exception that PCGS is tougher on the MS67 &amp; MS68 grades.&nbsp; Some of the strike designations are different, but those standards are published IIRC.&nbsp; You allude to the fact that there are major differences between the grading standards employed by NGC &amp; PCGS.&nbsp; The only differences I see are subtle, so I ask again.</p><p><br /></p><p>What are the differences between NGC and PCGS grading standards? A few examples might be helpful.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
