<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinchemistry 2012, post: 2125486, member: 28107&quot;]The dealers and advanced collectors that have made those comments in passing to me are very knowledgeable and well respected, and to be honest, there is truth to it.&nbsp; I have mellowed out some in time, but the areas where I deviate the most from the TPGs/mainstream grading are 1) at the lower end of the grading spectrum where I seldom, if ever, purchase coins in that range and 2) coins that are ugly and/or have significant problems.&nbsp; And I don&#039;t think they meant that eye appeal was a one way street, merely that I can be harsh on coins that I find repulsive.&nbsp; My standards of market acceptability also appear to be more stringent than the many (in regards to dipped out pieces, light cleanings, scratches/dings, etc.).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
