<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 129865, member: 66&quot;]One thing to considerwhen looking at third tier slabs is that there is a selective &quot;weeding&quot; that is done with them.&nbsp; Since the circulated coins ususally don&#039;t have large price jumps, accurately graded circ coins will tend to stay in the third tier slabs.&nbsp; But with the mint state coins it is another matter and properly graded third tier slabs end to get cracked and crossed to the upper tier services.&nbsp; So what you see in the market tends to be the leavings.&nbsp; So naturally they tend to be higher in misgraded coins.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>You would think that, but when Coin World did their grading test of the services a few years ago there were two circulated coins in the test group and the results for those two were all over the map.&nbsp; No two services gave them the same grade.&nbsp; My thought when I saw the results was &quot;If the grading services can&#039;t grade the circulated coins welll where there is much more leeway, what makes people think they can grade MS coins to one point accuracy.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
