<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 2066623, member: 46237&quot;]The problem is not really market grading or whether or not the buyer is informed. The problem is that while market grading uses different standards than technical grading, it has commandeered the Sheldon scale without a notation to indicate which grading standard is being employed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since both technical and market grading are subjective, this creates a situation where even an <i>informed</i> buyer cannot be sure if the grade on the coin is intended to be a technical grade or a market grade taking into account eye appeal or minor problems. Just look how many threads we have had here where <i>experienced numismatists</i> debate how a coin got its grade and whether or not market grading was involved.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
