RWC112 Valued Member United States 120 Posts	Posted Yesterday 1:04 pm Poll Question In the last few years there are new grading companies, and they do have more accurate grading then PCGS. However that is due to the magnification of the microscope used. First there was the Jewlers loop at 5X, and that was the standard. Then these Digital Microscopes came out, and 7x the 7.5 X now 10X. So, now there are competing Grading services, that claim they are more accurate. Now this is affecting Coin collecting as a whole, the new guys are attempting to out due the Top company PCGS. So, what do you think about the grading standard, should there be only one or many? Poll Choices 5X 7X, 7.5X 10X one standard Multi standard Edited by RWC112 Yesterday 3:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff
