<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 2035714, member: 46237&quot;]Ok, but to make sense of this kind of information, you would have to track it over time (grading standards change), by series, and by variety (when variety affects grade).</p><p><br /></p><p>For example, <b><i>regarding bust quarters</i></b>, I don&#039;t trust PCGS. I find their grades are highly inconsistent for this series, especially for varieties that have known strike weakness. NGC grades are significantly more consistent for this series, though they clearly net grade and are a bit more liberal than the ANA standards, which is actually more in line with the market reality. A lot more collectors use NGC than PCGS for this series for these reasons, but I&#039;m sure there are series where the exact opposite is true, or where they grade about the same. Knowing this type of information by series will help predict how a coin will cross, though there will always be some margin of error due to subjectivity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
