[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1227351, member: 66"]Seldom. Your coin has been submitted at least three times. It has been closely examined by at least nine highly qualified professional graders. It has come back with three different opinions ranging from MS-63DMPL to MS-64PL, to altered surfaces. Now you want it to be submitted again, be looked at by three more highly qualified professional graders, and potentially get yet a fourth different opinion. After all that just exactly what are you going to "KNOW"? That any time you send in a coin the grade is a shot in the dark? Tell you what submit it a few dozen more times to get enough data points to develop a bell curve with the consensus grade being the peak of the curve. Then we will know what the grade "is". That's because there is not a lot of great interest in breaking stories about companies that are acting ethically and doing what they are supposed to be doing. One of the local newspapers decided to cave to pressure about "all you ever publish are negative stories. Why don't you publish the good news?" So they added a section to the paper called Good News!
