[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2299814, member: 24314"]It all boils down to this BUT it cannot happen: 1. The perfect grading system would be simple to use and understand. 2. The perfect grading system would be precise. EACH TIME A COIN WAS SUBMITTED NO MATTER HOW MUCH TIME PASSED, IT WOULD BE GRADED THE SAME AS LONG AS IT WAS IN THE SAME STATE OF PRESERVATON AS WHEN FIRST GRADED. Now think about this. Paper Money grading can appear to be precise because each note is an individual with a serial #. It CAN be graded the same by the original grader. If it is cracked out and sent to another grader thay too will have a record of that note by#. In the same way, if PGCS and NGC take photos of each submission with enough resolution they can add the "perceived" precision that they seek to imply. So, if we can take the subjectivity out of it (assuming the coin remains the same) by computer ID; the only difference of opinion will be on some identical coins at each service. Now, suppose we were to link computer ID systems of the 2 companies? Bingo, any non-matches for the same coin (perhaps dipped or doctored) could be adjudicated and one final grade given. No more different opinions except by us little people out here who like to grade using our own personal standards.[/QUOTE]
