<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1437920, member: 66&quot;]ANACS has graded problem coins for ages.&nbsp; Years ago they used to give them a details grade and a net grade that took the problems into account.&nbsp; But they caught a lot of flak over the net grades they assigned so eventually they dropped the net grade and just list the detail grade.&nbsp; NGC began putting problem coins in slabs with detail grades a few years ago but do not assign net grades.&nbsp; PCGS began putting problem coins in their slabs with no grades just labeling them as genuine about three years ago.&nbsp; A little over a year ago they began listed detail grades but not net grades.&nbsp; The reason NGC and PCGS do not assign net grades and why ANACS stopped doing so is because there is no consistant way to determine how much of a deduction should be made for the problems because every problem is different and not every problem has the same degree of dislike for every person.&nbsp; So if you think there is disagreement over the grading of problem free coins, multiply that about twenty times and you get the disagreement over assigned net grades.&nbsp; Rather than put up with that headache they just give the detail grade, list the problem(s), and let the working out the net grade be between buyer and seller.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
