Message:: [QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 1881887, member: 5233"]What I mean is...grading is subjective.  I had seen PCGS graded coins from then that didn't seem to match their standards (on both ends of the spectrum, some too conservative and some too loose).  But, for the most part it was fairly accurate.  That said, over the last 10 years PCGS has changed their standards to reflect a changing market.  I have not seen an updated version of their standards released.  That's all I'm saying.  Their guide when it originally came out was fine IMHO...it wasn't 100% perfect but no guide is.  Based on what I have personally seen, those standards are no longer what they go by. As for the ANA guide...since no TPG seems to use it, it's hard to say if it's right or wrong.  We have no "graded" coins to compare to the guide.[/QUOTE]
