<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2111864, member: 112&quot;]As I already said, no I do not agree.</p><p><br /></p><p>Why don&#039;t I agree ? Quite a few reasons, but chief among them is the evidence at hand. What evidence ? The best evidence you can ever have - the coins themselves in their slabs.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course before one can even &quot;observe&quot; that evidence one must first be able to grade for himself, and do so accurately. And of course it also matters as to what set of grading standards that one uses. So what to do here ? It can be said, and rightly so to a degree, that since the TPGs do not use ANA grading standards that ANA standards cannot be used to determine if the coins are over-graded or not.</p><p><br /></p><p>So OK, what about using written and published PCGS grading standards ? I&#039;m afraid I don&#039;t know of any arguments that anybody can use to explain that one away. And if we use the PCGS grading standards it is usually pretty easy to say that the coins are still over-graded.</p><p><br /></p><p>So what other reason is there for why I do not agree ? Simple math. How many examples of MS65-67 exist ? In many, if not most, cases not many at all. And how many examples of low MS as well as circ grade coins exist ? One heck of lot more ! Do I need to continue from here or do you see the validity of the argument ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
