Mike I never said anyone doesn't have a right to post nor did I say anyone was an idiot. The point I was trying to get across is that few people...
As I said, you are missing something. You believe something that is not true. Allow me to quote from the 1st edition ANA grading guide, which is...
Apparently you are, which is why I asked the question. Technical grading does not take quality of strike into account. You can look it up.
Ahhhh, my mistake, I misread it :o
Now we are getting somewhere, which was the point of my question. Technical grading does not consider quality of strike or luster when determining...

But that is part of the problem Bone - people discussing things when they don't even know what they are discussing. And if you try and tell me...

Nominations do not end until tonight.
I moved your posts for you.
While most think that to be true, it isn't. Quite often a coin with a special designation such as FS or FBL is not really fully struck - just the...
Nope, it requires a great deal of luck.
One comment I will make NP is this - there are two times when I will say that IMO the TPG gets it wrong. 1 - will be when the grade assigned to a...
That would be it. Didn't know such a thing existed. I stand corrected. So now, tell me what's wrong with it ? At what other business can you...
