<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 139841, member: 2972&quot;]The honest answer is: Because the grading companies decide those are the grades they deserved.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Remember TPGs really PRICE coins. They don&#039;t grade them directly.&nbsp; They subjectively &quot;rank&quot; them.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s why I have problems with modern coins in high grade plastic fetching many times the price of one in the next lower grade.&nbsp; This is riduculous if you ask me, as the &quot;difference&quot; between the coins is both subjective and negligable.&nbsp; One of my coin mentors would say, &quot;crack that coin out of the holder and how much would a collector pay for it,&quot; and he is right.&nbsp; This is a question each of you should ask yourself when buying any numismatic item if you care about the value you are receiving...Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
