<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 613736, member: 307&quot;]why do we keep coming back to this same thing all of the time???</p><p><br /></p><p>Research and learn to grade the coin for yourself and forget what ANYONE including the TPGs have to say. Based on your grade and your grade alone, assess it&#039;s value and either buy, sell or don&#039;t. The market will tell you if you&#039;re right when you go to sell.</p><p><br /></p><p>Joe, I use the ANA standards to grade as well, and we have gone round and round about market grading on this forum, but what it always comes down to is simple: Do you want to buy the coin or not? Because if you&#039;re depending on someone else to make your dollars and cents decisions for you, I think you will lose almost every time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oddly, even though I grade by what I consider to be different standards, look at what Doug (someone who definitely has a different opinion) and I have graded coins versus the other. More often than not, we come to almost exactly the same grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
