<p>[QUOTE=&quot;halfcent1793, post: 5181646, member: 86853&quot;]In case it needs to be said again to anyone on this forum, coin quality is continuous and grades are, by definition, discontinuous. They are slots into which we try to slip our coins. </p><p>Grades - slabbed or raw - are no more than someone&#039;s opinion at a particular point in time; at another point in time, the same person quite possibly gives the same coin a different grade. Why? Maybe his spouse yelled at him or he had a fender bender on the way to work this morning, or maybe he got lucky last night. Anyone who thinks things that happen outside of the grading room don&#039;t affect assigned grades is deceiving himself. All graders are human.</p><p>Grades are NOT sacred.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
