<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 3229135, member: 78244&quot;]It’s a cycle. PCGS starts getting a reputation for loose standards, then PCGS tightens their standards to maintain the reputation of being stricter than NGC, and then loosening their standards to keep the dealers happy with higher grades. Denying that this cycle exsists is pure ignorance.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This blindly assuming the TPGs are always correct is getting pretty old, and it has been demonstrated that for classic US coins it is a very stupid thing to do. Why is it so hard for you to accept that they get grades wrong from time to time? This market grading crap is just a pitiable excuse to defend a huge company who cares about nothing except making money.</p><p><br /></p><p>And if you are so convinced that their standards are consistent, then why is the line between “straight” and “details” always moving all over the place?&nbsp; Subjectivity is a stupid cop-out answer. There is nothing subjective about one coin with a clear and harsh cleaning getting a straight grade and another with an old, light cleaning getting a details grade. (If you want examples, they are easy to find.) Or better yet, the same coin getting a straight grade on one submission and a details grade on another submission. That is a pure lack of a consistent standard, plain and simple.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
