I say that because I have seen too many TPG graded coins with nice reverses, where the grade was higher, even by current TPG standards, than the obverse deserved. In other words, the coin was net graded and given a grade bump because of the nice reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I see a problem with this because for as long as numerical grading has existed, it has been agreed, even by the TPGs, that coins are always, always, always, graded according to their worst side, regardless of what side it is. But some years ago the TPG changed their policy on that subject and began net grading coins. And at the same time, publicly making that statement you quoted above, apparently in order to account for the change from previous policy.</p><p><br /></p><p>In other words, it&#039;s double talk.
