For years, they said &quot;EAC -n-&quot;, but apparently someone at EAC objected. now, they use Mark&#039;s initials next to his EAC-style grade estimate.</p><p><br /></p><p>IMO, the best way to buy copper is to determine the grade yourself by EAC standards and consult <i>&quot;Copper Quotes by Robinson&quot;</i> (aka CQR). Then, check the TPG grade and compare to auction records. Funnel all that in, and &quot;pass or play&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
