<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 2227929, member: 1765&quot;]The thing is, if there&#039;s a coin that is a tough call one way or the other, you don&#039;t want it to be called a SMS coin.&nbsp; You want it in a business strike holder with a grade like MS68 on it.&nbsp; Unfortunately, there&#039;s no way to prove a coin wasn&#039;t in an original holder, so TPGs will err on the side of caution (i.e., minimizing their grade liability exposure) and call what could be an uber-gem business strike an SMS coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>If, however, you can show the dies used to make the coin were used for business strikes and not known for SMS coins, you have evidence on your side.&nbsp; The CONECA doubled die listings are good for this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
