<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 57679, member: 112"]I don't think I have <u>ever</u> said that any of the grading companies are 100% accurate. In fact, anyone who has ever read my postings in any of the forums should readily be able to recall that I am constantly saying just the opposite. I have been one of the foremost proponents for reforms within the grading industry for the past 10 years.</p><p><br /></p><p>You are taking my comments as if I were speaking of absolutes - I am not. I am speaking of generalities. But that doesn't really matter for people believe what they wish to believe regardless of evidence to the contrary. It's just human nature.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the '53 Franklin you mention - you need to understand that mistakes made on the date, grade, coin series - anything placed on the slab label by any of the grading companies - has nothing to do with the person who graded the coin. For the data placed on the slab labels is done by clerks and low level employees entering the info into a computer that prints out the labels. Yes these are still grading company employees. And yes the grading company itself is still ultimately responsible for the mistake. But the people who are NOT responsible for that type of mistake - are those who graded the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
