<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1988693, member: 12789&quot;]Sometimes - not always.&nbsp; I bought a Edinburgh minted crown from Queen Anne&#039;s reign once and it was in a holder that had it graded at VF-30 in an NGC holder.&nbsp; I pointed out to the seller that the coin was grossly over-graded and that I would buy it at a raw fine price and did get the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>The point is - as inaccurate and subjective as TPG grading can be for USA coins, it gets a lot more grey with foreign coins.&nbsp; I believe that most of the hammered and early machine struck coinage from Britain is over-graded in TPG holders.&nbsp; I also fervently believe that grading can be variable as far as who the submitter is - ie me vs. some big conglomerated auction house.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
