<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 3257121, member: 78244&quot;]A question I asked in another thread but was never answered was this:</p><p><br /></p><p>“So coins are graded by PCGS or NGC, and they are set to an instantaneous standard. In theory, this should be the standard to which all other coins are compared to. But as the standard changes, coins are graded to a new standard, while the other ones stay graded to the old standard. Which is correct? Which standard should I be comparing to. Now let’s factor in the yearly cycles of tightening/loosening standards. <b>Which are right? Which are obsolete? Which should be compared to as the standard?</b> If the answer is “all of them”, then there is no standard; it’s completely arbitrary. If the answer is “the newest one,” then the grades of everything else becomes obsolete.”</p><p><br /></p><p>Definition of “standard:”</p><p><br /></p><p>“an idea or thing used as a measure, norm, or model in comparative evaluations.”[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
