<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 8296123, member: 112&quot;]Hmmm - then who publishes that book above, and its subsequent 7th edition, (and all the previous editions), and owns the copyright/s if not the ANA ? That says to me, and I believe any other reasonable person, that there are indeed ANA grading standards. That they are real, that they exist. And that they have existed since 1977.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And yeah, I agree there is a similarly worded comment in the book. And as that comment itself says - current grading standards - who exactly is it that is currently using them ? And if the ANA is not making them, then who exactly is it that IS making them ? Some mystery person or mysterious group ? </p><p><br /></p><p>No, the answer to that question is also found within the book, on the Credits page. Where it lists the names of the most illustrious names in numismatics. Those are the people who established, made if you will, and use, the ANA grading standards. Perhaps you should read that page and see who those people are.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for me, I take great pride in using the same grading standards as all those illustrious gentlemen who created them and use them ! I consider myself in good company.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would also point out that like me, none of those who created and use the grading standards listed in the book, they obviously don&#039;t agree with or use the grading standards used by the TPGs ! And apparently you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
