<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Neal, post: 3292798, member: 43872&quot;]I use the terms interchangeably, but if there is a difference perhaps it should be similar to the difference between history and the past.&nbsp; The past is what happened.&nbsp; History is what people believe happened and say happened, and thus different people see the same event differently.&nbsp; So condition might be thought of as what the coin really is, with all it&#039;s wear, nicks, imperfections, or lack thereof.&nbsp; A grade is rather what someone, whether a TPG, dealer, or owner says about that condition, leaving plenty of room for disagreements about how to grade particular wear (is it even?), nicks (how many, how deep, on what part of the coin?), or imperfections (rough? porous? does a planchet defect add or detract?).&nbsp; That is why there are resubmissions of the same coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
