<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 7437442, member: 15309&quot;]They don&#039;t fluctuate wildly from submission to submission, and this is the first time I have submitted Jefferson Nickels to either service and thought the grades were entirely inconsistent with their previous standards.&nbsp; That said, I don&#039;t think that they deliberately changed their standards, I simply got a grader who was overly conservative and a finalizer who seemed not to care in correcting things.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>What does PCGS have to lose?&nbsp; If I resubmit any of these, they will go to NGC.&nbsp; What incentive do I have to resubmit to PCGS at this point?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The idea that the TPGs micro manage their gradings standards by tightening and loosening across hundreds of different series is absurd.&nbsp; They don&#039;t need to play games to increase submissions and resubmissions.&nbsp; Each year the mint produces mass amounts of coins that get graded by all the TPGs.&nbsp; The V75 coins alone put both PCGS and NGC so far in the weeds last fall, that their turnaround times are still over their published standards 6 months later.&nbsp; Then you can add the ever growing World Coin and Ancient Coin markets and they have all the business they can handle.&nbsp; They don&#039;t need to jerk around a collector of the Rodney Dangerfield of US Coins, a Jefferson Nickel collector.&nbsp; This was an example of a grader having a bad day, not a conspiracy to get a couple hundred more bucks out of me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
