Message:: [QUOTE="keemao, post: 1666702, member: 43972"]Sometimes I just don't get NGC grading.  I am sure it applies to PCGS also to some extent.  But when I send in a coin that looks nice that has a scratch that is barely perceptible unless you use a loop or something and it comes back UNC Details, OBV Scratch, I just go ballistic because I see plenty of graded coins (I am speaking of Morgans and Peace dollars here) that have bag nicks, marks, scratches, etc and they get graded MS63, MS64, whatever.  I don't understand why NGC can't give the coin a grade looking at its overall beauty, etc and then note on the little insert that it has an obverse scratch or something if it's that important to them.  I think they do this more to the small collector than the big dealers that send in hundreds or thousands of coins at a time when the ASEs come out or some other big money generator and generate thousands and thousands of dollars at a time in grading fees.  Now I was told at one time that the dealers who send in large quantities of coins pay more than us little guys who might send in 5, 10 or 15 at a time but I really wonder if that's true.  Anyhow, I just wanted to vent my displeasure with the way NGC does their grading.  I don't think a hardly noticeable or maybe unnoticeable scratch that you might need a magnifying instrument to see should ruin the grade of your lovely coin!!!!!!!!!![/QUOTE]
