yup, just slab the problem coins as genuine. That'd be a huge help and IMHO what the TPGs are supposed to do best.
Mike, I am in agreement with you on this one. Market by any definition refers to a place where buying and selling occurs. If that is so, then...
I must say that I do NOT speak from any experience and defer to those that have.
mine is heads forward too. I assumed that they were all that way.
