<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 7536852, member: 110350&quot;]I didn&#039;t say that your concern about the smoothing is unreasonable. I said that complaining about the chip in addition to the smoothing -- especially given that the smoothing/surface is the only issue mentioned by NGC -- could make you <i>seem</i> unreasonable.&nbsp; I learned decades ago that you don&#039;t strengthen an already-strong argument by adding a weak argument on top of it. The kitchen-sink approach rarely works. Instead, it&#039;s far wiser in a situation like this to focus exclusively on the strong argument. </p><p><br /></p><p>You can take my advice or not, of course. It&#039;s just my opinion, and I don&#039;t have the coin in front of me. Nor am I remotely an expert in such issues. (As mentioned above, smoothing is not even a question that often comes up with silver coins as opposed to bronze coins.) But I did practice law for almost 40 years -- as a litigator specializing, in part, in commercial disputes -- and I would like to think that I generally have good instincts about what&#039;s a strong argument and what isn&#039;t.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
