<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gc1111, post: 318542, member: 4142&quot;]While this is undoubtedly true, the particular dealer I was referring to is VERY knowledgeable. The problem is that there is nothing equivalent to Photograde, the ANA standards, etc. for determining if a coin is gradeable. I have read a lot of the TPG documentation on this, but it mostly simply describes ways coins are cleaned. There is no reference that I can take a coin, in hand, and by following their descriptions decide if it 1) gradeable, 2) not gradeable, or 3) maybe, maybe not. While I may have a lot to learn about grading the fact that professional graders do not agree on the grade/no grade issue makes me believe that we really need some standards.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
