Much more for their grading opinion since 10% of the final value is their reward for deciding that a coin should upgrade. I&#039;m not saying that this is the case. I am saying that money is a fairly large incentive to &quot;see it my way&quot; especially given the subjectivity of the grading &quot;opinion&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
