In the first place, at the time that experiment took place, only 4 of the 7 grading services could even begin to be called experts. And all 4 of them, each use a entirely different set of grading standards. So what else could anyone expect BUT widely different grades being assigned by them.</p><p><br /></p><p>In order to compare the outcome of a coin being graded, the people doing the grading must first all use the same set of grading standards. But nobody does. Everybody - from the various grading services out there to the individual collector, each uses their own set of grading standards.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And just because those people you took the coin were dealers that makes them experts in your eyes ? I would venture that there are far more dealers out there who are NOT qualified to accurately grade coins than there are dealers who ARE qualified to accurately grade coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
