<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 2554204, member: 21705&quot;]Opinions may vary without them being a mistake.

It has been around before the ANA and has it&#039;s own standards, nebulous as they are. They react much more strongly to PMD and less to die related weakness than Market graders. In fact, varieties known for weakness from strike problem at the mint are not usually penalized by EAC like the grading services who don&#039;t really take the time to make such adjustments. I had a 1837 N-14 which is known to have a soft reverse&nbsp; and EAC recognizes this when PCGS and NGC just downgrades ALL 1837 N-14s.</p><p><br /></p><p>Market graders opinions should just be the beginning and not the final word anyway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
