<p>[QUOTE="Eric Babula, post: 3555110, member: 85976"]Thanks for the info on EAC, John! I think it’s just a bit insane that NGC can see my 1851 as MS-61 (I honestly don’t see enough hits to warrant that low - different standards than Morgans?), but EAC sees EF-45! How can two “respectable” grading entities be that far off? I see, and occasionally participate in, the GTG threads, and we’re usually not that far off from each other.....and we’re just looking at pictures!</p><p><br /></p><p>There was recently a thread on another forum about whether collectors could grade. Goes to show you that you can’t even necessarily trust the “experts”. Market grading vs technical grading. Games being played (as you alluded to). Bad day for some graders. Who knows what might affect the grade of a specific coin on a particular day? Guess that’s why the crackout/resubmission game still exists. This all sucks for novice/intermediate collectors who are trying to learn how to grade accurately so they don't get ripped off when buying, or selling.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
