<p>[QUOTE=&quot;spock1k, post: 988323, member: 7043&quot;]fraid not possible breakdown metals have changed in the process and when the metal changes from gold to aluminum or stainless steel.&nbsp; and there is no inconsistency in what gd is saying he is saying that taking batch production judge each batch by the quality that defines that batch.&nbsp; now if some batch has become a key or not that shouldnt matter.&nbsp; what i advocate is take it one level up and if&nbsp; batch was not produced correctly ( weakly struck bad planchets etc) then penalize it.&nbsp; gd argues and rightly s then thos ebatches would never have the high grades and i argue that yes they wont because they are not of the same high quality so they dont deserve the high grades.&nbsp; you cannot use a standard to adjust for bad production at the mint just because the entire batch was made that way.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>in other words if corroded coins were made by the mint and not post mint then just because it happened at the mint doesnt get them into slabs or it shouldnt.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>and imho a looser standard for these coins is completely and truly unjustifed and once yous tart loosening here then what stops you loosening somewhere else?&nbsp; and history proves nothing.&nbsp; you now see problem coins with the genuine labels in slabs[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
