Should we get into the grades involving graffiti? Problem Is that they have a hard enough time grading 11 MS grades. They don't have the ability to focus on what should be considered AU. To many man hours to actually break it down. I'm sure that the risk could easily bankrupt a company. But I thought they were there to actually grade a coin. o_O[/QUOTE]
