I explained this TO YOU less than a week ago in another thread, post #108 in the thread linked below. Grading? Why bother? I had this...
Yes, I have my own standards that sometimes deviate from those of the TPGs, and if the coin doesn’t meet my standards for the assigned grade, I...
Here is my 1958-P: She’s a beauty huh? This date/mm sucks!

First, you are the only one besides PCGS who has seen the coin, so everyone else's opinion of the surfaces don't matter. Second, if you don't...

So wait a minute, all of a sudden, the guy who is defending the TPGs in recognition of his own limitations is the one who always has to be right?...
