Has the grading gotten any better at PCGS lately?

It seems to me most people who report their results from their submissions on these boards, are very satisfied lately.

Good question???

"Better" means tighter, or looser, or more consistent?

How about more favorable to the submitter. Is that a little clearer for the consistently confused?

How about just plain realistic and purely and consistency accurate? That's all a submitter can ask for from any grading company.

Maybe it was just the coins you were submitting that were the problem in the first place...

I t wasn't my coins I was inquiring about.A couple of months ago there was so much complaining about PCGS getting so tight on grading that David Hall made an offer to personally review newly graded coins.I was just wondering how that all turned out.

Shhhhhh! That's a big secret.

I have been noticing people very happy with their grades lately. Maybe I should have thought out the title of this thread a little better.

I would like this much more than the periodic "things are tightening up" nonsense.........

Just good old fashioned consistancy will work for me.

I'm not one of those people. They were still very tight with my Lincoln submission. I just received 8 grades.
I agreed with only 2 of them. And 4 of them were crackouts and all 4 slipped a grade. Still seems to me
that a coin is ms67 on Monday and ms66 on Tuesday. Just my opinion.

Has the grading gotten any better at PCGS lately? nope they cant get any better than they are now as per the below

pcgs is doing something right as the current coin market cant exist without pcgs

well frankly ...................

the majority of submitters think pcgs is the best

as i have seen many boast on here of buying a coin for 1-3 dollars or less getting it slabbed pcgs and they can sell it or have sold it for anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand to over 10,000k immediately if not sooner

and conversely if the end user breaks this coin out of its pcgs slab the coin goes back down to a few dollars or less in worth

so the grading is superb at pcgs cant get any better

a true fanatic religious following from the majority of the participants in the coin industry from new collectors to advanced collectors to top nationally known hall of famer dealers

just remember buy what you like with discretionaty income and figure out for yourself what a coin is worth to you you got to know how to evaulate the coin yourself

if you got to ask anyone then you are in big trouble

"the majority of submitters think pcgs is the best "

I believe the majority of submitters think PCGS is the most conservative, which is not necessarily better.

LeeG · August 15, 2005 8:43PM

The grades I got back last week were what I expected.

morgannut2 · August 15, 2005 8:44PM

Michael's advice that is fine except the part about "you're in trouble if you got to ask anyone else's opinion". I think it's just STUPID not to ask one or more top experts in the series to evaluate a coin if you can!! I would never be so prowd to think it impossible I'd missed something about a coin--and if nothing else, I might learn something.
