<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1863505, member: 15309&quot;]What you call an exception to the rule, I call the subjectivity inherent in grading.&nbsp; How many times have you seen a guess the grade on this forum and thought to yourself, that coin is a high end MS65 or low end MS66 without much conviction for either grade?&nbsp; Of course when you answer the guess the grade you can only make one guess.&nbsp; The same thing happens during the grading process.&nbsp; The graders may be torn between the two grades as well, but they can only assign one grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>You state there are far more examples that exist where both grades could not be correct, but that is your opinion Doug.&nbsp; There is no way you have empirical evidence to support that claim.&nbsp; Likewise, I have no evidence proving that my reasoning is correct.&nbsp; I want to be clear on one point however.&nbsp; The statement I made has nothing to do with gradeflation or changing grading standards.&nbsp; I am talking about the present.&nbsp; You can send the same coin to a TPG twice right now, get two different grades, and have both grades be correct.&nbsp; I just don&#039;t want this conversation to degrade into one of our debates about TPG grading standards over time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
