<p>[QUOTE="robp, post: 8161469, member: 96746"]'Market grading'? What the hell is that? Herein lies a major inconsistency of TPG grading. Wear is wear, knocks are knocks, corrosion is corrosion and scratches are scratches whatever the rarity or not of the coin. If you want confidence in a given grade, it would help if standards were adhered to. I can't find anything on the Sheldon scale to suggest that grading is affected by rarity, or is it simply smoke and mirrors by the TPGs to satisfy those that collect by numbers?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
