It was a general loosening across all grading criteria (the board). But, with circ grade coins the amount of wear (the lessening of detail...
Did ya ever wonder what a Corgi would look like without any legs ? [ATTACH] Not that much different really :D :D
That should pretty well answer your question :D Now you could talk to @green18 but from what I hear all the heavy lift cranes in his area are...
No, not at all. Prior to the existence of the TPGs overgrading by individuals across the board, for all grades, was rampant. The TPGs stated...
The why part is easy, the prices go up because the vast majority of buyers buy the plastic - not the coin. It is, if you're a plastic buyer.
He could wait till the proverbial cows come home but it aint gonna change - it's a fake.
:rolleyes: Nahhh - she wanted to be, but nahhhhh - Chris is right ! And BTW Kentucky, that's just 1 more added to your count :p
None at all. Rub is nothing more than a common usage term that came into use because "it sounds better" than saying light wear - which is exactly...
It was done by hand, but those are not die polish lines, those are die scratches. And there are numerous ways that dies can get scratched.
No it isn't because I was talking something completely different in the post you refer to. In the previous post to which you are referring I was...
Look at the bottom line of any post, see where it says - Report. That's what it's for and that's what you do - you click on Report. The the mods...

First you have to define what MS/uncirculated actually is. Once you do that it's quite simple to answer your own question. And remember, dings...
Nope, I have NEVER said any such thing. That's just it, absolutely no one can tell when, where, or how wear occurred ! There simply is no way to...
Sounds to me like we are in agreement. Where Roger said "touchup" I said "retouching". But retouching/touchup is not the same as die polishing....
I didn't miss your point, I know all too well how fragile luster is. But I also know that wear on a coin isn't instantaneous. If it was there...
Uhh, no, I'm not. Ya see, the NRA created/invented the market grading system. And in that system - wear is wear. The TPGs merely copied from them,...
Apparently you don't understand one the most basic things there is - bag marks are NOT wear !
What you're reporting is pretty common actually. YES - you can pull a coin right out of a cash register, or your pocket, and that coin can be and...
