<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 950882, member: 26302&quot;]The problem is one is provable and one is not. A mintmark or error variety is provable. Most of the time 100 out of 100 people agree, so therefor you are talking about a specific TYPE of good. You cannot sell a chevy, call it a cadillac, and get away with it. Condition does NOT make a specific type of good, it is the same good, just a matter of condition. Combine this fact that there simply is no recognized system, and even if there were, 100 out of 100 experts will never agree what to grade under that system, then you have the problem. A BU is NOT a different good than an AU, it is just degrees of wear, and you cannot tell me that 100 out of 100 dealers or collectors would always agree. If you HAD a situation where it was blatant, and 100 out of 100 would back you, then you would have a case. Say a dealer sold a little old lady a coin as XF and it was a damaged VG. I am sure 100 out of 100 would agree with you its way overgraded. That is not the case you were talking about. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If there is ANY disagreement as to its grade, (grading scale, disagreement versus wear, etc), then the onus is on the purchaser to inspect the goods before purchase. Just like buying a used car, if the dealer says its in &quot;great&quot; condition, there is no standard to measure by, and another dealer may say its a &quot;very good&quot; car. Please do not try to make the comparison between new and used cars, that is a legally derived term, and does not apply here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
