I don't collect any of the series that are market graded in such a way so "in hand" my answer would be several. In my experience, when faced...
I agree that it is an important topic and I will try to remain cordial. At least for a day or two:devil: ps, your guesses are pretty close.
Really hard to answer that question under that scenario because it requires the coin to be raw and I buy almost all of my coins already slabbed....
I guess what you are asking is there any other series besides Saints where the TPG's use roll friction as a reason to grade a coin with wear MS....
Really? You are a moderator, why don't you go snooping through my PM's to see how many members of this forum have expressed exactly that...
I have plenty of knowledge and experience which is why I repeatedly make you look foolish. This thread is no exception. That is not written...
IMO, that is very short sighted. Applying one standard simply doesn't work. I don't want to see every Saint graded AU, it isn't right. What...
I am not disputing that wear can result from circulation. I am not even disputing that it is almost impossible to discern circulation wear from...
Nice try! My point is simple. If the abrasions on the coin are caused by coin to coin contact then the coin should still be considered MS no...
If that is what the ANA standards say, then show it to me. How do the ANA standards address roll friction? The TPG's don't ignore anything, they...
My experience in this matter is irrelevant in this case. PCGS has seen far more Saints than you and they are far more qualified than you....
Says who? Not me, and certainly not the TPG's.
So you are saying that the determining factor in whether a coin remains mint state is the angle in which one coin contacts another. If the coin...
Because, as PCGS points out in their book, all Saints have that exact same high point wear. Are you really going to claim that every Saint...
Your grade is based upon the wear being the result of circulation which it is not. The wear you see is the result of two coins coming in contact...
These comments help define the controversy. Both of you admit that if the abrasion on the knee was caused by contact from another coin that the...
I'm sorry but the reporting in this case is terrible. The best they could narrow it down was to a range of $17,400. Come on man!
Many of the comments in this thread make me want to vomit.
I think I have watched that video 100 times, it still cracks me up every time. Here are my top five. 1) Ladies Man 2) Vanilla Chip 3) Oops I...
As Ruben already stated, it is treated as an abrasion, not wear. It makes perfect sense that roll friction could limit the grade of a coin at...
