<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 8187384, member: 24314&quot;]The post above is why I don&#039;t allow discussion about TPGS MISTAKES in class!&nbsp; It would take up the entire seminar time.&nbsp; While some of these may be hearsay, we all have a good story or ten to tell.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Commercial grading allows this.&nbsp; AU one day MS the next.&nbsp; &quot;Details&quot; one time straight grade the next.&nbsp; No one likes it but that is why strict, critical grading is best.&nbsp; Then IMHO, seventy-five percent of these stories/gross mistakes would not happen.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In my experience, <b><span style="color: #b30000">no one</span></b> can be a consistent grader.&nbsp; However, some can be better than others.&nbsp; I think that is what most professional graders strive for but none are even close to perfect.&nbsp; </p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>If there was a way to have a coin <b>examined</b> and <b>discussed </b>by five of the best in the business <b>until </b>a 100% consensus was reached about the coin&#039;s condition of preservation from the minute it was struck <span style="color: #b30000">WITHOUT ANY </span>regard to it&#039;s rarity, strike, eye-appeal, or value - that would be a perfectly graded coin!&nbsp; Then they could add there opinion of its value.&nbsp; </i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> C</i>an you imagine those guys grading a ten coin submission containing a 1959 BU Roosevelt dime, BU 1904 cent, MS 1880-S $1, etc. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> There would be a ten year backlog of coins at the service but the grades would be perfect 99.9% of the time.&nbsp; ONLY THE COINS VALUE would fluctuate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
