In other words, they won&#039;t say &quot;MS 65 DETAILS&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>In some cases, TPGs will practice what&#039;s called &quot;net grading&quot;, where they look at the overall state of wear on the coin and then subtract points for a problem. Most folks here don&#039;t seem to like that, as it obscures what&#039;s actually going on. I think ANACS in the old days would do that explicitly, saying something like &quot;AU details, corroded, net VF20&quot;. Others here can correct me or fill in more details.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
