<p>[QUOTE="RedTiger, post: 659778, member: 19098"]Huh? Too late in the day or too early to post? You played the first three versions of the game. The introductory comments were identical and two of the three were in no-problem holders, only one had problems noted and even that one might get into a no-problem holder on another go around. There would be a lot less point to the game, if we were told the coin was already a problem coin, no?</p><p><br /></p><p>As for harshly cleaned, or whizzed, I am not seeing that. To me, it looks nothing like the ANACS cleaned coin image, much more like the 63 and 64 graded coins. As always, I have been wrong before, will be wrong again, we'll see what the TPG said.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is a second filter that skews my comments. If it were indeed harshly cleaned or whizzed, A collector that knows anything, wouldn't likely send it in for grading. An experienced collector would only buy it if deeply discounted, perhaps for an album or for educational purposes, and never submit it. Whizzing and cleaning can sometimes be a bit tough to see via online images, but is usually easy to see in person for an experienced collector. DesertGem certainly has shown that with some of the coins he/she posted, the quality of the photos and close ups, a good deal of numismatic experience, and knowledge. Anyone who owns three 1921 Peace dollars, and a 3-legger, and is buying coins raw to send in for grading, likely has a good collection, and many, many years in the hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
