But with the better grading companies the grade is not assigned on the basis of what just what 1 individual says it is. There are 3 and sometimes 4 graders who must agree as to the grade of a coin before it is slabbed. That at least helps in regard to varying opinions of individuals.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please understand - I am not defending the grading companies. I am just trying to make sure that those who are less familiar with them and how they work - do understand how they work so that they can make their own informed opinions about them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
