<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BadThad, post: 2368834, member: 17261&quot;]Agree, attrition is a nasty thing.

FALSE!</p><p><br /></p><p>All of this is one of the reasons I started&nbsp; roll set collection of memorials in &quot;higher&quot; grade. As I&#039;m searching, I put the best examples in the bottom of the tubes. That way when I find a candidate, I just check the top few coins to see if it&#039;s better or worse than my worst. Over many years I have quite a few tubes marked as I know I&#039;ll probably never find one better than what&#039;s in that tube. After all the searching eventually you throw in the towel on some issues. Finding MS-65 and up is nearly impossible....by my grading standards...which are higher than the TPG&#039;s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
