<p>[QUOTE="Kanderus, post: 1245056, member: 28447"]I was recently on Kitco's website, checking metal prices when I saw an ad banner. They were selling PCGS graded PF70 ASE's. The banner even said "Back by popular demand" or something to that effect. That leads me to believe that they are grading these simply to turn a profit. Kitco calls up and says "Hey guys, we have a ton of people wanting some PF70 Eagles. What kind of deal can you work for us? We'll send you a couple hundred boxes of eagles, you just 'grade' 'em!"</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, on the subject of grading being subjective...well I personaly agree. I went to that PCGS photograde thing and I cannot tell the difference between some of them. Some of the higher graded coins look less appealing than the lower graded ones. For instance in the Washington Quarter section the MS68 example looks pretty damn worn and less detailed than the MS62, 63 pictures...even the AU58 looks better. Perhaps I do not know what to look for, but I know what looks good to me. Hence the subjectiveness.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
