<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlov43, post: 7802076, member: 16729&quot;]Your approach to grading world coins is ABOUT the only way one can do it without the aid of numismatic grading standards from the country of origin, so good on you!&nbsp; Relying on U.S. (ANA) grading standards, which are some of the more accessible and detailed, is often the way to go.&nbsp; I mean, when you submit your world coins, the TPGs are basically applying their company&#039;s U.S. grading standards to them.</p><p><br /></p><p>For my collecting focus, South Korea, there are no separate grading standards, at least ones that anyone in Korea commonly accepts.&nbsp; Korean numismatists just rely on the U.S. TPGs to provide grades.&nbsp; NGC has a submission center in Seoul, and most &quot;big&quot; coins in Korea are in NGC holders.</p><p><br /></p><p>My question is:&nbsp; If no one is creating grading standards for a country&#039;s coins, whose responsibility is it?&nbsp;&nbsp; At this point, it seems that responsibility is actively being handed over to an American grading company.</p><p><br /></p><p>It seems the &quot;art and science&quot; of grading is not a thing at all in Korea.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
