[QUOTE="BUncirculated, post: 1432214, member: 29581"]First off, you're comparing coin grading to baseball umpires and how they call it at the plate. Apples to oranges as they are not the same. However, since you mentioned it anyway, not every umpire calls it the same behind the plate. One ump may say right on the outside edge is a strike, while another one would say the same place is a ball. Secondly, coin grading is subjective and has been right along and no doubt will continue to be. Graders for the TPGs, can have a varying opinion from on grader to the next. Sometime when you have some extra money to test this, take any coin you wish and submit it to either TPG. When it comes back, take a photo of the label the coin is to record the cert.# and grade. Then, crack it out and submit the same coin to another TPG. If it comes back with a different grade on it, you'll see what I mean. It's opinion, that you the subscriber, pay for, and is highly subjective, and can vary from not only grader to grader, but TPG to TPG.[/QUOTE]
