<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 4222, member: 112&quot;]It might also be of interest to some of you that not a single one of the grading companies currently in business uses the ANA grading standards or Photograde standards. They all individually have their own standards. That is why there is such a great difference when you look at 2 coins side by side with the same grade that have been graded by two different companies. </p><p><br /></p><p>So if you wish to learn to grade coins the same way the grading companies do - then you need to learn their individual standards. It can however be very useful to understand how the ANA grading standards compare to the standards used by PCGS for example when it comes to understanding values for these coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Interesting that you mention computer grading - who is doing it ?&nbsp; I have not heard of this recently. PCGS tried using a computer program to grade quite a few years ago and gave up on it. A couple of other companies have tried as well. So far not one has met with success.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
