<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 25129134, member: 15309&quot;]Doing what you are proposing is only really feasible as a quality control measure funded by the TPGs themselves as it provides no financial benefit to the submitter.&nbsp; As close as I can get is my own submission of a conditional rarity 5 times across the different TPGs. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have a 1944-P Jefferson Nickel that I purchased over a decade ago that was originally housed in an old &quot;no line fatty&quot; NGC holder from the 90s that predated the 5 full step designation.&nbsp; Unfortunately, I lost most of my photos last year when my computer blew up so I can&#039;t show the progression of the grading from slab to slab completely, but here is the grading progression for my 1944-P Jefferson Nickel shown below.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/SaUABbI.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/PIdbqPH.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/cLhaiQB.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/B2JEdkl.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>NGC MS67 OH 504077-030 (1990s)</p><p>NGC MS66 4730261-014 (2019)</p><p>PCGS MS66 45611991 (2020)</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/RYG5j0N.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>ANACS MS65 7462702 (1/2023)</p><p>NGC MS67 6528633-021 (5/2023)</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/BJgFjHm.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This coin has been graded 5 times by 3 different grading companies with a spread of 2 grades.&nbsp; The ANACS grade is perplexing as were most of the other grades from that submission.&nbsp; The other grades all make sense as I view the coin a high end MS66 or low end MS67.&nbsp; The steps are much better than they appear in the photo, and it seems that the small bridge of the 4th step under the 2nd pillar is the culprit.&nbsp; That diagonal mark to the left of that doesn&#039;t even appear in hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are many people who think a coin has a correct grade.&nbsp; It is only after playing the crackout/resubmit game that one truly learns about the subjectivity of the grading process.&nbsp; How can the same coin have a different grade at different times and both grades be correct?&nbsp; Because the grade is the subjective opinion of the grader who viewed that coin at that time.&nbsp; A grader who covets eye appeal and luster is much more likely to award a premium gem grade to a toned lusterbomb Morgan Dollar with typical MS65 surfaces than a grader who leans towards technical grading and views surface preservation as grade limiting.&nbsp; And despite the TPGs efforts to teach their graders to follow the TPG standards, the individual biases of each grader will inevitably affect their assigned grades.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
