LOL ! I love it when people can dish it out but can't take it :D
What you are calling grittier is an effect caused by worn dies, that's all.
I'm so glad you passed 4th grade math Brandon. Devil made me say it [ATTACH]
The weight does not solve the design being completely wrong. My conclusion is the same as before.
One other thing that nobody has mentioned, yet. At least I didn't see it if they did. That is that the TPGs routinely over-grade coins from name...
Instead of that just realize that there are only two companies that you should have anything to do with, NGC and PCGS. Avoid all others.

You're kinda going backwards don't ya think ? The design was chosen, see the poll at the top of the page. Or are you suggesting it all be done...

Interesting read, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I have spent much time myself studying the issue as best I can in order to better understand the...
Eddie - if collectors accepting it is what you consider proof then all you need to do is read this forum. There are literally countless numbers...
Eddie - at that link you can't see this ? [IMG] That's the table of contents for the book. What it tells you is how to use lacquer, paraffin,...
And there's a reason for that. If you took those same coins from the ICG 70 slab and had NGC or PCGS grade them they would almost always come back...
