<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 3349137, member: 78244&quot;]EAC grading gives two clear, unambiguous grades: the level of detail and its value (if needed to be netted down for damage; never upwards). There is no room for guessing what was in the grader&#039;s mind at that instant. Last time I checked, the TPGs don&#039;t do that.</p><p><br /></p><p>What the OP is referring to is silently assigning a lower numerical straight grade to a problem coin without describing that it had been done so. That is completely different from EAC grading.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Ancient coins are not net-graded. They are given an approximate grade, and problems are described if deemed significant enough to be worth noting.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe that would be the case if the TPGs were consistent about it.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Is it good knowledge if that line changes from day to day or quarter to quarter?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Or are sticklers to technical and unambiguous grading practices, like EAC folk.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
