<p>[QUOTE="Richard01, post: 43319, member: 2700"]Could be. Grading is subjective, so prone to be questioned by everyone. Heck, my local dealer was very honest about it. He said he would swear a coin I brought it was a grade or two lower than I thought if I wanted to sell it, and everyone one he had was a grade or two above what I believe when it comes time to sell. He was smiling at the time. He then said, that's just how buying and selling work. </p><p>Grading is the same, I think. So subjective that you just have to stick with it until you have a body of work behind you, if you are a TPG. PCGS has that, so they win. Are their possibly small TPG's that are just as good? Sure, but is that going to make their coins trade at the same values? Nope, because there is no formula that can prove they are as good... it still is subjective. Maybe the TPG's are simply the worst thing ever to happen... I don't know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
