Obviously, you are selling yourself short as you picked up the light cleaning right away when others may not have.</span> </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;I&#039;m not that arrogant to think that I know more than anybody else.&nbsp; I&#039;ve Just Seen discussions about PCGS putting problem coins and straight graded holders that&#039;s all.&quot;&nbsp; <span style="color: #006600">I did not intend to make you seem</span> <span style="color: #006600">arrogant or knew more than the professional graders; however, my use of the word &quot;you&quot; plus the tone of my post DOES indicate that. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; So, I deserve to be put in my place as I tend to be very caustic.&nbsp; The more important thing is for you to KEEP YOUR OWN STANDARDS but be aware of what is practiced in the real coin market.&nbsp; As I already posted, IMO, this coin is graded in the correct range.&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;... and that wasn&#039;t very fair taking a jab at me that the only people that would buy this at this price point with problems like this, or something to that effect come on man, really?&nbsp; This one is personal preference for a specific type set that I&#039;m doing.&quot;&nbsp; <span style="color: #336600"><span style="color: #006633">Again, no one can tell anyone what to collect only give advice.&nbsp; I will not retract anything I said in the final sentence.&nbsp; All our purchases are governed by our needs, wants, and budget</span>.&nbsp; Mine and yours...as a matter of fact, if I could afford it, I should like to have a coin like yours to demonstrate one-sided hairlines.</span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
