<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2104109, member: 112&quot;]I&#039;m not sure who &quot;they&quot; refers to since I was talking about the ANA and the TPGs in the post of mine that you quoted. But in the end I guess it doesn&#039;t matter.</p><p><br /></p><p>Under ANA standards if an entire issue is known for being especially well struck then that issue is held to a tougher level, a more strict level, of grading standards than other coins of the same series. The TPGs do the same thing in that regard.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, what must be remembered is that TPG standards are looser, more lenient, than ANA standards. For example, a TPG 66 is not the equal of an ANA 66, or a 63 the equal of a 63, etc etc. What the TPGs call a 66, under ANA standards would be a a lower grade, sometimes a much lower grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
