<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 2435915, member: 3726"]That is part of the problem - they are grading accurately, BUT to their standards and not something like the ANA standards. And actually - not sure who first said this - they are their to make money first and keep collectors happy. I personally wish they would quit letting key dates slide - so tough to find them accurately in a tpg hold. I know in some series there are different strike considerations - but I do wish they were more consistent on the grading across a series. One of the reasons I sold most my buffalo nickels. Some of the tougher(not just keys) they were calling 63's to 65's and dealers were pricing them like that. They weren't going to meet what I wanted for the grades. Of course it makes my hunt for coins more challenging and actually more fun at times when you finally find one. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/user][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
