<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2328267, member: 69760&quot;]But how would you interpret it when someone says, &quot;PCGS gave this coin a high grade.&quot; This would not be a relative statement such as &quot;PCGS gave this coin a higher grade than I thought&quot; or &quot;PCGS gave this coin the highest grade among coins of the same year/variety.&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>In the context of PCGS/NGC, would we assume that high grade means MS6X? Or maybe go a notch or two below... maybe AU-55?</p><p><br /></p><p>Or, would the person <i>technically</i> be mistaken to use the term &quot;high grade&quot; in an absolute sense, and should instead say what exactly the grade is? Conversely, I was thinking that &quot;high grade&quot; would be a standard range between MS-60 and MS/PR/PF-70, since &quot;high grade&quot; may be indirectly standardized by those top TPG&#039;s, as coins must be able to break that minimum uncirculated MS-60 barrier.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
