<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 3699113, member: 19165&quot;]You are guessing the grade. Ideally, your grade and the TPG grade should be the same, if the TPG&#039;s are grading accurately and you are grading accurately. I&#039;ve tried to select solid for the grade examples in each thread. Some GTGs are out to make a point about undergraded or overgraded examples - not these threads. These threads are out to show accurately graded coins, so we can see how we compare. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I understand that some people grade differently, and I understand that sometimes people disagree with what the TPG says or does. However, PCGS and NGC are the de-facto standards in the hobby. That&#039;s another debate for another day. If you consistently grade 2 points lower than them, you aren&#039;t going to do well in the graded-coin market. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, in my mind &quot;guessing the grade on the label&quot; and &quot;guessing the grade you would give this coin&quot; should be equivalent statements.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
