<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1933155, member: 26302&quot;]Its not an &quot;established standard&quot;, because TPGs refuse to grade according to &quot;established standards&quot;. Its how PCGS grades it. Nothing more or less. Now, if PCGS and NGC wish to actually grade according to ANA standards, then we coul have a better discussion. As it is, there is no standards at all, its all what the TPG feels like calling it that day, who sends the coin in, how much demand for a coin there is in the marketplace, etc. </p><p><br /></p><p>Please do not call this the established standard because I have not accepted, nor has the ANA accepted, nor has any official body I know of that represents the hobby accepted, worn coins being called MS. A couple of private businesses, with their own profit goals in mind, and those profits of their large members, have changed this, on their own, in smoke filled backrooms. Please do not color this as commonly accepted and agreed upon grading standards.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
