<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3297859, member: 112&quot;]I&#039;ve posted my thoughts on it more times than I can count, and for many years, and it&#039;s quite simple. The graders at every TPG there is grade the coins the way they do, assign the grades they assign, because the companies they work for tell them to do so. </p><p><br /></p><p>In other words, professional graders do not get grade coins based on their own personal grading standards. They have to follow the grading standards they are TOLD to follow - and nothing else. When their company wants them to grade AU coins as MS - that&#039;s what they do. When their company wants them to grade VF coins as XF - that&#039;s what they do. When their company wants them to grade a 64 as a 66 or 67 - that&#039;s what they do.</p><p><br /></p><p>Or if you want to put it another way, IF the graders do not grade the coins the way their company wants them to - then they suddenly find themselves out of a job ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
