<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1826459, member: 112&quot;]That is not true either. The ANA invented market grading and their grading standards books have been based on market grading since 1987.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>OK, but which &quot;book&quot; are you referring to ? There are several, and all of them are different from each of the others.&nbsp; And that&#039;s not even taking into account the specialized books that only deal with one specific series.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Before you do that, you need to understand that PCGS will only grade &amp; slab problem free coins, even if you have them attempt to restore the coins. They will allow you to pay them to try and restore a problem coin, but it is also important for you to understand that once a coin is a problem coin, it is always a problem coin. And no amount of restoration done by anybody will ever change that. But like I said, they will allow you to pay them for it, and then they will allow you to also pay them to put your coin in one of their problem coin slabs.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Then you may wish to get the new ANA grading standards book. Their 7th edition was just released not long ago. But keep in mind the TPGs, none of them, grade coins according to ANA standards.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
