No Mike, market grading does not do that. Value grading does that. That was the entire point of this thread. What you think is market grading, is...
And what you'll learn is that the practice I described is no longer used. Back then, coins were placed in bags containing $1000 of face value....

Been that way for some time. Apparently you didn't notice the date on that article - Posted on 1/7/2008 Even before that, fake ANACS holders...
