<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgandude11, post: 2280831, member: 37839&quot;]My answer, as per always, is that TPGs are one of the best things that happened to the hobby.&nbsp; They have provided SOME, and I will repeat that, SOME standardization to grading with official recognition of said grade.&nbsp; That being said, they make mistakes, just as all humans do.&nbsp; Is there an element of variability built into standardized grading--of course there is.&nbsp; Human beings are doing it, and one man&#039;s meat is another&#039;s poison, despite multiple checkers and parties to the grading.&nbsp; Is ANACS worthless in terms of grade?&nbsp; No, they are not.&nbsp; Are they more lenient than PCGS and NGC? In a lot of cases, yes.&nbsp; However, I own numerous ANACS coins, because I LIKED the coin, not the holder or grade.&nbsp; Hopefully, buyers will use common sense, and not buy coins that they don&#039;t like, that are not overpriced, and that there is not&nbsp; a discomfort level with the grading.&nbsp; Consider TPG grading to be &quot;generally&quot; accurate, with some issues to it.&nbsp; Same as building a house--someone&#039;s choice of finishing materials may not match up with somebody else&#039;s ideas on trim and finishings.&nbsp; It is a matter of judgement, and how one uses said judgements.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
