<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 3395475, member: 15309&quot;]I have no experience collecting or grading gold coins other than Saints, but in most numismatic circles, friction in the fields typically relegates the coin to the circulated grades.&nbsp; All three of the examples that you have shown clearly show friction in the fields, yet all three are graded mint state by the TPGs.&nbsp; It seems clear to me that the TPGs and CAC are using a different standard than I would.&nbsp; Since you collect this series, can you enlighten us with some knowledge on how to grade these coins?&nbsp; In addition, the 3rd coin appears to have been cleaned.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
