<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1429321, member: 112&quot;]Rusty buddy, one of these days you gotta get it into your head to leave the CS off that acronym <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>But now a question for ya. Let&#039;s suppose the TPGs did grade that coin 58. Does that mean that&#039;s what the correct grade is, just because they say so ?</p><p><br /></p><p>You see, if you get the PCGS grading standards book out and look in the Morgan section, that coin matches perfectly the description given for AU50-53. And I mean it matches perfectly !</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the mistake that I think people make all too often. They trust the TPGs too much. They automatically assume that when the TPG assigns a grade, that that IS the correct grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>My contention is that when the TPG no longer even follows their own written grading standards, then they are not grading the coins correctly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
