<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jason Hoffpauir, post: 3025606, member: 67527&quot;]I completely understand where you are coming from.&nbsp; The gentleman that I had the conversation with said the same thing; but he said it is not always what it seems on the surface.&nbsp; There is a strong rivalry between TPG&#039;s.&nbsp; Just look at the difference between pricing on two identical coins with identical grades.&nbsp; If they were graded accordingly and the way there suppose to be graded why are the prices not the same?&nbsp; Personally, I believe that NGC has surpassed PCGS in the last 10 years directly from watching the strict grades they give.&nbsp; But that is my personal opinion; nothing more.&nbsp; I believe that regardless of &quot;Who&quot; tells the TPGs graders what and how to grade coins that there is a prestige factor / pride competition between the top TPG&#039;s.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>*Edit....when I said &quot;NO ONE, and I mean no one tells him or her what to grade a coin&quot; I meant the individual that has the last say on what grades are given for that particular coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
