<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 20833773, member: 101855&quot;]Making general statements about whether a coin will cross grading services in the same grade or go up or down is impossible. Each case is different. Some “third world” grading services are a joke. Virtually all of their coins are over graded and would never pass the muster. </p><p><br /></p><p>ICG is not in that class, but from my observations, its grade tends to be a littler more generous than the two leading services. There are ICG coins that are graded “on the money,” but unless you know how to grade coins yourself, you can’t tell the difference before hand. </p><p><br /></p><p>All grading services make mistakes both ways. Some collectors will dispute it because they think the services hire perfect experts. The truth is there are “A”, “B” and “C” level coins in all grades, and is where CAC comes in. But CAC is not perfect either. </p><p><br /></p><p>Confused? That’s one of the reasons why making money with coins is not easy, at least if you plan on doing it with short holding times.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
