Message:: [QUOTE="imrich, post: 3438079, member: 22331"]We all know that grading by individuals is generally greater than the published technical, TPG standards when observing as a potential buyer, and lower when selling. The coin is graded AU-55 by one of the 2 TPG touted by the collecting community to be the supreme grading authority. A current study of published illustrated standards, and "comps" items to be sold on the internet, believedly support the Grade. This is just another objective proof of questionable grading standards by the touted prominent TPG, as I've shown numerous times by comps and personal regrettable submissions.  There's a reason why my state implemented legislation requiring bonding, refunding of payment for questionable selling practices. This has partially avoided expensive subjective actions as is believed to be seen in the PCI litigation. Personally, as an appreciable buyer, my Numismatic purchases are received out of state.
