That is a very cowardly way out IMO. If there are examples of gradeflation posted on this forum every day, then link some. If there is a marked...

The tightening of the standards related to the market acceptability of toned coins changed drastically at PCGS the day they decided to encapsulate...

Please guess the grade of this 1923 Peace Dollar graded by NGC in the attached poll. [img] Comments about the coin and your reason behind...
