my thought exactly, conder. This gives the TPGs an out and lets them save face all without a dime of compensation to the people who lost in the...
I really hate this idea that in order for a classic coin to meet with the coin community's approval, it must be slabbed, because I can't believe...
This might be the most likely scenario. A new 100 point (with decimal) grading system will give new standards to grade to, will be recognizable as...

circulating sets??? what are these SQG? My interest is piqued.
just to be clear, since I am the only one that even mentioned XF, I said XF details when I meant AU details with a net XF grade. I misspoke.
large date
that doesn't surprise me one bit. My guess is that they were graded in order from highest grade to lowest: ICG - loosest (and I don't even know...
