<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2877896, member: 24314&quot;]IMO, the second tier major TPGS graders are not quite as rushed (due to the volume of coins) when examining coins. Perhaps that allows a little closer look. Additionally, AFAIK you may be correct as I&#039;ve heard lots of coins rejected for some reason by the top two TPGS get sent to the other two in hopes of getting something past.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been told it&#039;s a game.&nbsp; I should think it&#039;s mostly a loosing game as many of the folks at the second tier services actually have more experience authenticating and grading coins.&nbsp; One of those graders told a class I was in that he routinely needs to raise his personal grades at work to be in line with today&#039;s loose &quot;standards.&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; He also looks at virtually all coins sent in with a stereo microscope set at 7X. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie46" alt=":facepalm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
