<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 803626, member: 112&quot;]What you will find is that the various TPG&#039;s are tougher on one series than the others are. None of them are tougher on all of them. But in order to determine this you really have to study each individual series and the way that each individual TPG grades them.</p><p><br /></p><p>This involves a tremendous amount of time, effort and coins. You can&#039;t look at a 100 coins all in the same grade by each of the TPG&#039;s and determine it. You have to look at thousands of coins all in the same grade by each of the TPG&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>So usually the only people that know this information are those who specialize in a particular series and have amassed huge collections over many years. Finding those people takes some doing, but they are out there.</p><p><br /></p><p>The majority of those who make such claims as this TPG is tougher than that one on this coin are typically talking because they like the sound of their own voice and inflating their egos. It takes a while to determine who to listen to, and who to ignore.</p><p><br /></p><p>The one exception to this rule would be regarding special designations. On that count, NGC is tougher than all the rest. And this is not just an opinion, it is easily seen by anyone who reads the criteria for the designations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
