<p>[QUOTE=&quot;davidh, post: 1241735, member: 15062&quot;]So, pretty much all grading is bogus, except what you, yourself do.&nbsp; I don&#039;t mean in assigning number or letter grades, but if you want an Uncirculated coin, you find one on which you can see no evidence of circulation.&nbsp; If you want Almost Uncirculated, you find one on which you can see just a little evidence of wear.&nbsp; And so on.&nbsp; Why bother paying for someone (or some company) to make an assignment that you may or may not agree with?&nbsp; I&#039;ve always felt that grading is for bragging rights more than for obtaining a coin worthy of including in a collection.&nbsp; If I see a coin I need or want, and it looks nice, I&#039;ll get it, regardless of what grade someone has put on it.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen (and own) plenty of so-called EF or AU coins that are far more attractive than some so-called MS examples of the same coin.&nbsp; In my collecting and collection, MY grading standards trump those of PCGS, ANACS, Photograde, dealers or anyone else.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
