<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2121126, member: 71723&quot;]Before I wade into this, and at the unwise risk of raising my blood pressure in a quest to document the self-evident, we need to agree on definitions of terms. I will endeavor to present examples of &quot;sick&quot; grades on brown splotchy toned coins, grades that have no logical explanation. Whether that coin ultimately sold for above the given grade&#039;s norm is of no interest to me. It is the premium inherent in its given grade that is the subject of my protest. IOW, if it got a 68 for no possible reason other than the tone, THAT is my key gripe. If someone bumps the price IN ADDITION TO the grade bump, that&#039;s just silly on steroids. Agreed?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
