<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2502996, member: 24314&quot;]While your opinion is valid and important - <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> keep dreaming... &quot;<span style="color: #b300b3">if it can be detected</span>&quot; covers a lot of &quot;skill levels.&quot;&nbsp; So while that might be a great idea to you, in some coin series, well over 30% of the surviving specimens show &quot;detectible problems&quot; that well over 70% of dealers/collectors <span style="color: #ff0000">CANNOT</span> detect.&nbsp; Be thankful for the TPGS and for the fact that even they don&#039;t &quot;detail&quot; every coin that deserves it! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie10" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, have you ever read the ANA Grading guide? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie26" alt=":bookworm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> For some straight grades: Luster MAY BE IMPAIRED or the coin may have CONTINUOUS HAIRLINING THROUGHOUT.&nbsp; In both cases these &quot;problems&quot; are easily detected by informed numismatists; yet you may wish to exclude these coins from being graded.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
