<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gmarguli, post: 387950, member: 246&quot;]Based on the original post, the submitter has submitted a total of 20 coins. The first submission was 10 coins where he got the 2 unexpected higher grades. Do you really believe that PCGS (or any TPG) would give gift grades to a submitter to get more submissions? And if so, do you really believe they would do it to a submitter who submitted a &quot;massive&quot; 10 coin submission? I submit several thousand coins a year and I can&#039;t say the percentage of what I consider undergrades/overgrades has changed much over the years. </p><p><br /></p><p>For a vast majority of the coins they see, the graders do not know who owns them. They go into the grading room in a little anonymous box with meaningless (to the graders) bar codes and tracking numbers on them. I know this for a fact. Having said that, one of my worst submissions was one where the head grader knew they were my coins, knows how much I submit, and I&#039;ve always had a friendly rapport with him. If there was ever a time to get gift grades that would have been it, but I got hammered.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
