Can you define early years ? I know NGC used to require 6 full steps for the FS designation until a few years ago, but I've never heard what you...
Fair enough, I can admit when I make a mistake :o
The question was answered Paul, numerous times. But you are apparently unwilling to accept the answer. The answer is quite simple - coins from...
I don't know how to win Mike - I tried that in the other thread and was ragged on for refusing to continue the discussion :confused:

That's the problem with computerized grading and why it doesn't work. They tried it a couple of times - miserable failures. They ended up with...

The difference between an argument and a discussion is but one thing - the loudness of the voices. I'm not yelling, didn't think you were either....
