How can something be "much more unique," when the word unique means one of a kind? Something is either unique or it isn't. There are not varying degrees of uniqueness. Of course, that's not the way it's used these days; I'm just being pedantic.

ELAINE: No, no . . . but it is quite a coincidence.

RAVA: Yes, that's all, a coincidence!

ELAINE: A big coincidence.

RAVA: Not a big coincidence. A coincidence!

ELAINE: No, that's a big coincidence.

RAVA: That's what a coincidence is! There are no small coincidences and big coincidences!

ELAINE: No, there are degrees of coincidences.

RAVA: No, there are only coincidences! ..Ask anyone! (Enraged, she asks everyone in the elevator) Are there big coincidences and small coincidences, or just coincidences? (Silent) ..Well?! Well?!..

 

Well, if you want to be even more technical, would not every coin be unique, as are fingerprints and snowflakes? Are there any two coins with the exact same strike, color, marks, errors, etc? And what exactly does rare mean? If the Mint made only 265,000 dimes, is that really rare? Or is that scarce? And exactly how many have to exist to be scarce and not rare? And what does semi-scarce mean? Semi-rare? This is one of those discussions where everyone knows what I am talking about but we get dragged down by technicalities.

 

What I want to know is why a TPG will slab a coin with pvc but not a scratch? Seems like it should have at least been labeled as pvc damage right?

 

I agree 100%. I don't even think they should slab details grades either

 

Would you get something like this?
From my collection -

 

I would So long as no pvc and I knew why it was thin

 

I think in that one, they just rolled the half dollar planchet/sheet a little thin.
