<p>[QUOTE="panzerman, post: 2384153, member: 77704"]I find there are varying standards in grading. British auction houses like Baldwins/Spink/St. James are very conservative. I seen MS-64 AV Noble Edward III slabbed downgraded to EF in Spink auction. Same for most European sites. Kunker only calls MS-66 "Stempelglanz" or uncirculated. French auctions also only rate MS-66 as FDC. CNG is one of strictest in grading, anything they call Supberb EF is MS-65 or better. I would rather get a coin from Ars Classica graded Good EF then a slabbed one MS-CHOICE 5/5 4/5...</p><p>John[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
