<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1064102, member: 112&quot;]There is no such thing as an official set of grading standards. Instead, we have many, different, sets of grading standards. NGC uses the NGC set of standards, but nobody knows what that is because there is no written version of the NGC standards. PCGS uses the PCGS set of standards, and then only sometimes. By that I mean that PCGS often does not follow their own written set of grading standards. ANACS and ICG each follow their own individual sets of standards.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some collectors &amp; dealers say they follow the PCGS standards, others say they follow the ANA standards. And still others will say that they follow their own set of standards, but they can&#039;t define them for you.</p><p><br /></p><p>But in all of this mess there is no &quot;official&quot; set of grading standards. So what we have is everybody saying the same coin is &quot;really&quot; of about 6 different grades - and all at the same time.</p><p><br /></p><p>You pick which one suits you <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
