[QUOTE="imrich, post: 3104439, member: 22331"]In my opinion Kurt is really full of it, and his YELLING will not change facts that I bought graded coins since they were available because they were touted to conform to the OFFICIAL A.N.A. GRADING STANDARDS FOR UNITED STATES COINS. The illustrated book was copyrighted in 1977 with 13 grades. I purchased many of my first Gold Coins from ACG, where the owner was severely criticized for his supposedly liberal grading. I still have many of the ACG graded coins which I'd gladly compare against higher graded coins by todays "top tier" TPG, including a semi-key that was presented as a walk-through cross-over by a prominent grader at a show. The coin was assigned cleaned, given a serial number, still remaining in the ACG slab. I'd give odds that the ACG coin can receive a straight grade, presented "raw" to the 4 top TPG. JMHO[/QUOTE]
