<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 25276880, member: 112&quot;]Well, what do you want to do - A, grade the coins consistently and accurately, or B, grade them like the TPGs do ? </p><p><br /></p><p>If you choose A then use the ANA grading standards. The written descriptions are pretty well detailed and straightforward. Put another way, the tips are literally written out for you.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you choose B, there really aren&#039;t any written descriptions anywhere, it&#039;s more of a guessing game, personal opinion game, where the grading has become more and more lenient over the years. So for one to know how each individual TPG will likely grade a given coin in the current time frame, one has to be particularly familiar and experienced with how each is currently grading the given coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>And they are not same, no two TPGs grade any given coin in the same way. And they are well known for one TPG being stricter or tougher on a specific series than the other TPGs. And it varies with all the different series, they&#039;re tough on this one, loose on that one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
