<p>[QUOTE="KSorbo, post: 5167172, member: 56370"]Perhaps it should have been detailed for the improper alloy mix, or slabbed as an error. I can see the argument for the technical grade, for which color may not have an impact. However, based on everyone’s responses, the perception of eye appeal is so universally negative that “market grading” should have been used to downgrade the coin. I can see allowances being made for early US type and other coins that frequently have issues. But an 09 SVDB is not hard to find circulated with normal color. If a gouged early gold coin can be “market graded” into a problem free holder (as currently in discussion in another thread), why can’t the OP coin be market graded into a details holder?</p><p><br /></p><p>I’m not a professional grader and only know the things I’ve read on the topic, but this seems like a no brainer to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
