<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3611671, member: 112&quot;]Rich I know what you&#039;re saying, and yes I agree 100% that the TPGs are way, waaaaaaaay more lenient with things like scratches than they ever used to be. The 1904 that you attached above - that coin has absolutely no business being in a straight grade slab ! I think you&#039;re over estimating the size a good bit by saying it&#039;s 3/4 in., but it&#039;s definitely severe enough to warrant a details slab.</p><p><br /></p><p>The other 2 coins you posted links to, again the 1904 is questionable at best in my opinion due to that gouge near the bottom, but the Saint, that scratch, if it&#039;s a scratch, is not severe enough to warrant a details slab. And I&#039;m a lot more strict than the TPGs are.</p><p><br /></p><p>But it is that very leniency that makes me question the coin Jim is talking about. I mean given the TPGs are so lenient nowadays, if they detailed a coin for scratch/s then what does that say about the coin ? It tells me the scratch/s are pretty bad. That&#039;s what I&#039;m basing my comments on.</p><p><br /></p><p>Either way, there is no way for us to make a determination without at least seeing the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
