But they have and this coin is the poster child for it. If they aren't inflating grades how did this one grade 65 then 66 and magically get called...
All the marks you have shown are within the grade parameters for me. It's not unusual for coins that have this type of contact to have large...

These are all fluff, the type of toning you have done has been seen on many examples in the past. Last I heard from you the buyer will be the...
