I get this, but I see the grading scale as an objective criteria that should be absolute. I don't believe that TPGs are at that point now, as...
Unless coins are graded and slabbed by third tier or below TPG's, right? Then we treat them as raw... their MS6X numerical grades would be the...
Do you think that buyers should reasonably expect XF or better, at worst, after performing due diligence and still being unable to determine a grade?
But when a seller uses it, what do you not expect? Would you reasonably consider XF and below to not fall under the category of "high grade"?...
I wonder what sellers mean when the write that an item is "high grade". For some sellers, I get a feel for it, others use it more liberally, and...

I have a modern restrike from the last year or so, which I believe is struck by Austria's Mint. I'm not sure how many of these restrikes were...
lol I go off on a tangent a lot. Anyway, I was wondering if .999 silver rounds were simply demanded more by collectors, which may be influencing...
