I don’t think the dipping is the reason for the details grade. There are some small hairlines strewn about the surfaces of the coin, and NGC...
Thats because technical grading ignores several aspects of grading included in market grading. It is a more simple process, stands to reason...
If there was an exam with only one question: Is there a correct answer? I could fill two blue books.
I've found the opposite to be true.
I agree, those are the two problem areas that I see related to color scheme, but the yellow-green color is common enough and the elevation...

@Springford CC , makes me glad we didn't go with Heritage.
I'm at 3.5 on the Proof Washington. The rainbow color is limited to the rims and the orange color is pretty common, still the overall appeal is...
Skip, you do know that @Phil's Coins was making fun of Ed Wood, not taking a pot shot at ICG, right? I would take the challenge as long as you...
