It's because people tend to form a picture in their head of what defines perfect - they forget the criteria and ignore it, they get hung up on a single word.

[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 146376, member: 112"]Well yeah Bone, but it tells ya a little more than that. Forget about the grading companies - they are different, always have been and always will be.

Just about any experienced collector will readily admit that there are differences between any two coins graded exactly the same by the same company - the very same grader even. There are low end, medium and high end examples for any grade. Just about everybody accepts this and understands it. Well it's the same for the 70 grades - they are no different.
