If you are an expert grader of one series, you can be the same with other series

Do you agree or disagree? Either way, why?

Of course. But it takes time to learn this new series, right?
In fact, if you are NOT an expert grader of any series right now you can certainly become one eventually...obviously...since many people have. Takes time...a lot of it too.

You can possibly learn to become an expert grader in another series.

At this point, I feel I should interject something of little importance in the midst of this very educational Q&A.

Mark, wouldn't you agree that each series has their own set of characteristics unique to that series? If that is the case, then someone who has mastered grading, say, Morgan dollars would not necessarily be proficient grading CBH's.

I agree, you can be the same but there is much to learn with each series.
Knowing the basics is a big help and probably puts one on the fast track in learning a different series.

Sure...and I can be POTUS too! 
Yes, I do believe that, if someone has graduated to become an expert in 1 field of numismatics, I do believe they can, given time/resources/desire, become an expert in more than just that 1 series.
However, they would have to WANT to and they would have to have the RESOURCES to do so (seeing a lot of the series in question, etc).
Someone who is an expert in Morgans (arguably the easiest of the classics) wanting to become an EXPERT in EAC would need to spend a lot of time and have access to a whole lot of EAC to understand the strikes/planchets/and how copper reacts vs silver for Morgans.
Doable, yes.
Easy, likely not.
Lot easier to become functional in additional series though.
