<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bonedigger, post: 404596, member: 4367&quot;]Since Technical Grading takes into account everything about the coin <b>after the strike</b> which gives the areas that are technically graded, like Full Bell Lines, etc..&nbsp; This is much like the old question, &quot;Which came first, the chicken or the egg?&quot; I will provide the requested information.&nbsp; Again, I look at the BIG picture.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ron Guth states -- &quot;Technical grading&quot; supposedly, should never change.&quot; It is based on observable, objective criteria such as wear and marks. Heritage Capital Corp.&#039;s Web site says it &quot;only takes into account that which has happened to a coin after the minting (strike) process (i.e., the state of preservation).&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>Here are two just from this thread:</p><p><a href="http://www.steveestes.com/cgi-bin/newsite/eyet.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.steveestes.com/cgi-bin/newsite/eyet.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.steveestes.com/cgi-bin/newsite/eyet.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>3rd Paragraph</p><p><a href="http://www.earlyus.com/art003-marketgrading.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.earlyus.com/art003-marketgrading.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.earlyus.com/art003-marketgrading.pdf</a></p><p><br /></p><p>A couple more...</p><p>1st Paragraph</p><p><a href="http://www.coincentric.com/GradingMintStateCoins.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coincentric.com/GradingMintStateCoins.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.coincentric.com/GradingMintStateCoins.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>2nd paragraph in What is Technical Grading</p><p><a href="http://reviews.ebay.com/Technical-Grading-Value-Grading-and-Net-Grading_W0QQugidZ10000000004441755" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://reviews.ebay.com/Technical-Grading-Value-Grading-and-Net-Grading_W0QQugidZ10000000004441755" rel="nofollow">http://reviews.ebay.com/Technical-Grading-Value-Grading-and-Net-Grading_W0QQugidZ10000000004441755</a></p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, I couldn&#039;t find the reference to the ANA standards.</p><p><br /></p><p>Take Care</p><p>Ben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
