<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 4507941, member: 100459&quot;]Having been an accountant for over 30 years, I believe that anything can have a quantitative grading scale, as long as there is an absolute value for anything.&nbsp; When grades are given that are more qualitative than quantitative, you are basing your opinion on how well you like the items.&nbsp; Is 3 scratches OK, or can you have five scratches before you get a &quot;Details&quot; grade.&nbsp; I had a 1904 Liberty Double Eagle.. my first coin to have graded.&nbsp; It came back with &quot;UNC DETAILS: Scratches on Obverse&quot;. I call the TPG and asked where the scratches were and how many.&nbsp; The answer I got back from them was, &quot;We don&#039;t keep that kind of information.&nbsp; We examine the coin, makes some notes, and based on experience, we record our opinion.&quot;&nbsp; Is that right? Do they keep any records?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
