Message:: [QUOTE="vavet, post: 361609, member: 11630"]If you are referring to me, GDJMSP, let me set the record straight. The reason I KNOW that "grading is so inconsistent" is because the results of every single grading experiment without exception proves just that, not to mention my own personal experiences. The people who graded the subject coin are supposed to be the kind of professionals you suggest as being capable of decerning the differences in the 11 ms grades are also the same people who issue different grades for the exact same coin on resubmission. Perhaps you could explain that phenomenon. Opinions are often times interesting, but there is no denying the facts. I dare you to buy a 1999 Silver Proof Quarter in an NGC 70 slab, crack it out and try to get a PCGS 70. After all, both NGC and PCGS have those professional graders with all that experience and ability. Just think about it. With the prices the PCGS coins are getting, you could make a small fortune cracking out those 500 or so NGC 70's and get them all into the more expensive PCGS 70 slabs. Again, I refer to the Mickley 1804 Dollar. Did the professionals at NGC get it right as a PR62, or was Q. David Bowers 12 points off when he graded it PR50????? And since when does a cleaned coin (harshly cleaned according to Walter Breen) warrent a 62 grade. Kindly enlighten me as to which of the above are not so "professional"?[/QUOTE]
