<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 361512, member: 112&quot;]You know why it is many people to claim that grading is so inconsistent and that nobody can really tell the difference between one grade and another grade ? Because they can&#039;t do it themselves. And when somebody can&#039;t do it themselves - they tend to think nobody else can either. Well, there are those who can.</p><p><br /></p><p>Telling which coin is a 66 and which one is a 67 (or any other two numbers you want to use) is not that difficult - once you know how to accurately grade. But if you don&#039;t know how to grade - yes, it is extremely difficult. It&#039;s learning how to grade accurately that is the difficult part.</p><p><br /></p><p>What cladking is saying is that if an experienced grader sat down with someone who did not really know how to grade, and those 2 people took groups of a given coin in two different grades, where every one of them was typical for their grade, then the experienced grader could show the novice how to tell the difference between the two in just a few minutes. That is quite true. All it requires is the knowledge and experience to do so.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
