<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 971651, member: 112&quot;]What would you like in the form of documentation ? </p><p><br /></p><p>The most obvious of course is the PCGS grading book. All you have to do is read it and compare it to the ANA standards. They are as different as day and night.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now other written documentation is more difficult to come by. But then that&#039;s because no other TPG has a written set of grading standards. And I&#039;ve personally asked all of them, well except for the self slabbers, and I don&#039;t think you are even considering them.</p><p><br /></p><p>But there have been occasions when spokepersons or employees for the various TPGs have written in coin magazine articles that they do not follow ANA standards. But don&#039;t ask me to quote you the issues, dates and page numbers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course the best proof in my opinion is the coins themselves. Like they say, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Take any coin you like graded by any TPG you like. Compare the assigned grade to the written ANA standards and if you cannot see that the two are not the same - then I suggest you see an eye doctor.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
