[QUOTE="Soda Ant, post: 363767, member: 13460"]No it's not. The article Hobo is quoting from is in the April 28th issue, but the guest commentary I was posting about is in the May 5th issue by a totally different writer and from nearly the opposite point of view. Since quoting parts of the article seems to be okay here (fair use), this is one of the relevant paragraphs from the article: "The next purchase was for three slabbed, supposedly "perfect" Brilliant Uncirculated dimes from the Philadelphia, Denver and San Francisco facilities. Yet, all three obviously had been whizzed, dipped or both. There was absolutely no variation in color or tone over all three universally white specimens. They also had numerous bag marks - yet they were slabbed by Star Grading Service (SGS) as MS-70! Any reputable grader would have returned all three dimes (and the Franklin half dollar) in body bags."[/QUOTE]
