I see a circulated common date 1922 Peace Dollar. A satin proof would have a much better strike, especially in the lettering.

IMO, a strike that bad shouldn't be rewarded with a gem grade. The surfaces might say MS65, but the strike should limit it to MS64.

I've only seen you do that a handful of times. Got an example of a Doug sticker coin?
1) I don't submit directly to CAC but do buy and sell CAC graded coins 2) No, it restores the value that was stolen by gradeflation. 3) That...
I think that very few people on this forum are even close the same league as the graders at the TPGs. If you are talking about the newer graders...
