<p>[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 1439062, member: 26030"]One of the problems is grading is an opinion and subjective ... and everyone seems to have different opinions. I have a feeling if I submitted the same coin 10 times to PCGS and 10 times to NGC, I would probably see a spread of grades ... even amongst the grades from the same company. So some of this might depend on how much of a stickler the PARTICULAR person you get to grade your coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think that both of these companies probably have a fairly large TEAM of graders. This is why you hear about people cracking out coins and submitting them over and over trying to luck into a higher grade (really luck into a more lax grader). With some coins a 1 grade increase can increase the "book value" by thousands of dollars. This is what most people mean when they say "buy the coin, not the slab".[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
