[QUOTE="Evan8, post: 3420787, member: 74343"]Whatever happend to coin grading as subjective opinions? So what if some people want to spend money to get the opinions of top tier graders. The opinions of NGC and PCGS just so happen to be most trusted. Not everyone is going to agree with everyone else's opinions, that's just the way it is. Now what happens when they start governing those opinions? Only the government believes they can make an opinion fact by writing a law. And therefore making an opposing opinion illegal to have.
