<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 64876, member: 112&quot;]You&#039;ll get no argument from me on that old friend. I think by now you pretty well know how I feel about this subject. I&#039;ve written enough about it - haven&#039;t I&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I agree completely - the grade of a coin is the grade - period. And it should stay that grade - forever. Grading standards should not change - and there needs to be just one set of standards that <u>everybody</u> uses. And yes that includes all the grading companies.</p><p><br /></p><p>But I think the ANA has made a wise move here. Collectors need to understand how the the numismatic community as a whole grades coins - today, not 8 or 10 years ago. Otherwise collectors will be at a substantial disadvantage when they go to buy or sell coins in today&#039;s market. </p><p><br /></p><p>So I&#039;m happy to see this new edition. I&#039;m also happy to see the ANA step up and admit that gradeflation <u>exist</u> ! For there are too many collectors who do not realize it - and they need to.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
