<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BUncirculated, post: 1543798, member: 29581&quot;]What Doug said was the ANA&#039;s 3rd edition of grading standards came out in 1987 and market grading was born. He also went on to say that market grading allowed for high point wear on coins for uncirculated grading. </p><p><br /></p><p>He&#039;s also said he doesn&#039;t agree with allowing any wear to slide the coin into an uncirculated grade. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>No, nor did I state that. However, NGC can&#039;t say in their grading standards that certain wear is allowed for a coin to receive an MS grade, when their standards for a Details AU grade states the opposite. That is a contradiction in their standards. It&#039;s either worthy of a Details label with an AU, or it isn&#039;t. They can&#039;t have it both ways.</p><p>&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>We are discussing grading standards as a whole, Paul. Have you not been paying attention. We&#039;ve discussed PCGS&#039;s, ANA&#039;s, and now NGC&#039;s. After all, YOU&#039;RE on the side of the TPG&#039;s allowing high point wear to not hold a coin back from an MS grade, and my opinion is it should. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>For the last time, read my answer to that question asked and answered several times already.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
