<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 24823793, member: 112"]OK, but given your purpose, which I've highlighted above, have you decided to use the grading standards of one specific TPG or are you trying to create some kind of aggregate and or generic set of grading standards ? I ask this because each of the 4 major TPGs - ANACS, ICG, NGC, PCGS - all have their own specific and individual set of the grading standards and all four of them are quite different from each of the others. And, it's worth noting that the grading standards used by each TPG are different for any specific series - i.e. the grading standards are different for a half dollar than they are for a dime, even when it's the same TPG grading both. They are even different for a half dollar from the 1800s than they are for a half dollar from the 1900s.</p><p><br /></p><p>And given all of that, after using Numi, which of the 4 TPGs would Numi recommend a collector send his coins to ?
