<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1313771, member: 26302&quot;]I understand this point with all other examples you listed, I really do. I also support that reasoning and the end results. To not denote a specific variety unless proven, or a specific date unless proven, is all very understandable to me and supported. </p><p><br /></p><p>I just think this issue with mintmarks is different, that&#039;s all. When talking about traditional US coinage, (which btw was the ONLY coinage TPG promised they would grade, remember? :devil<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />, a &quot;1928 Peace dollar&quot; listing is read by every coin collector, dealer, etc as a Philadelphia coin. It always has been, and all coins are priced under this assumption. Like I said, if the TPG would simply label coins they were sure of no mint mark as (P), OR if they were unsure of the mintmark either body bag it or label the slab &quot;mint uncertain&quot; then I am completely ok with it. However, taking our longstanding, time honored tradition of labeling a Philadelphia issue 1928 dollar as &quot;1928 Peace dollar&quot;, and twisting that listing to NOT mean a Philadelphia Peace dollar, but a &quot;1928 dollar that we do not easily and verifiably see a mintmark&quot; is completely misleading to collectors and completely disrespectful to the hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe I am the only one this ticks off. I can drop it. Btw thanks again for explaining their reasoning to me Doug. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
