<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 452428, member: 4920"]Well here I give you your big opportunity to show us some support for your position and all you can do with that is show us how far you can drift off-point. Let me ask you this. How many 1881-S Morgan dollars would you estimate you've seen in your lifetime? Maybe, at best, a handful? For every one you've seen, PCGS has seen buckets-full. Ergo, PCGS has more of a factual basis than you to grade an 1881-S Morgan dollar; ergo, per definition, while both opinions as to grade can be said to be fact-based, i.e., "objective," PCGS's opinion can be said to be more fact-based, i.e., more objective, than your opinion. Or, strictly-speaking, PCGS's opinion has the "capacity" to be more objective. That doesn't always guarantee, of course, they are.</p><p><br /></p><p>Short of having said that, I don't know what else I can tell you, but, like I said, I agree to disagree.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
