<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 361775, member: 112&quot;]Well it would help if you could be more specific in regard to these grading experiments.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone would be foolish to even expect such an outcome. First of all NGC and PCGS both use a different set of grading standards. So it would be rather hard to expect that they would grade coins exactly the same, especially 70&#039;s. Secondly, PCGS has a company policy that basically forbids their graders from grading a coin as a 70 beyond certain quota requirements. And before you ask, no I can&#039;t prove it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Again, before you can question the outcome all of the parties need ot be using the same set of standards. None of those above were. As for Breen&#039;s description, he&#039;s been known to be wrong more than once.</p><p><br /></p><p>What my comments were talking about is that you can have consistency if you have the same person, using the same set of standards, do the grading. It seems ludicrous to me to expect people using different standards to grade every coin the same. And in every comparison you make - that&#039;s what is happening.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
