<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2484983, member: 36230&quot;]Okay... now please go back and reread what I actually said; do you wish to rephrase?</p><p><br /></p><p>Let&#039;s see now... did you happen to notice the &quot;composit grade&quot;? What is to stop someone, as I&#039;ve done many, many times myself, from cherrying coins from one set and placing into another, now for the purpose of upping the composit grade? This approach to grading the entire set is ripe for abuse and it&#039;s as simple as that. Oh, and <i>&quot;if the unique toning</i>&quot; isn&#039;t there, does this mean a genuinely original set will be bagged? If these esteemed experts will rely only on such a trivial and at times meaningless qualifier to determine the originality of a set, the problem is compounded.</p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps I should dig a few photos out for you, and see if you can tell me which came from original double mint sets and which did not. Something tells me your hit rate would be far from acceptable, and for the simple fact that the toning, indeed common to such sets, is not something found on or unique to all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
