[QUOTE="Beefer518, post: 4603387, member: 87737"]Its not like EAC grades ever match the TPG grades, and I've always been under the impression that they aren't there to appease a TPG, but to grade a coin based on their much stricter guidelines. Seems like HA has 'in-house' EAC 'specialists' that get a paycheck from HA, and HA doesn't want to rock the TPG boat. I wonder how the EAC would explain the discrepancy in something where their institution is implied to have reviewed the coin and gave it the two different grades, presumably only months apart. As for PCGS, I've never liked their grading personally, and realize they are a for-profit organization, and keeping certain clients happy keeps their bank accounts fat. So who got ripped off worse? The owner that submitted the coin and got the 35, or the guy that bought it as a 58? I think if i bought it as the 58, I'd be pretty ticked off if I saw the earlier auction.[/QUOTE]
