[QUOTE="j0nnyjo, post: 446912, member: 15364"]Hi all, This is a very general question that I have read a bit about in different settings...but I just wanted to get your opinions on a few different issues regarding TPG grading at the present time - I know some of us may have had more experience with this than others: 1) To what extent would you consider TPG grades "reliable" for mid range mint state (63-65) Peace Dollars, Morgans, Early Commems, and WL Halves in the hypothetical sense that you could repeatedly "crack" the coin out of its slab and "reliabliy" receive the same grade multiple times from the same TPG. (these are just what I mainly collect - of course any general opinions / opinons on other series and/or grades would be great) 2) Are PCGS and NGC grades specifically "reliably" consistent for the above-mentioned coins or is one service consistently tougher/more lenient to any extent for any particular series that you've noticed (or in general)? 3) Has grading from TPGs been "reliably" consistent over the past year, 2 years, 3 years, etc. (I'm aware that grading was of course very tough in the very early days of rattler holders and such, but I'm curious as to whether you've noticed variability more recently or if things have essentially "leveled off"). If anyone has any thoughts/opinions/comments on any of the above (or any related issue), I'd love to hear them. Thanks for reading. :thumb:[/QUOTE]
