<p>[QUOTE="BuffaloHunter, post: 3297051, member: 5821"]In my opinion, this is exactly the way the TPG's should have went. Sorry, but a standard is a standard. I work with plenty of engineers from civil, mechanical, electrical, etc. and standards mean something - and are certainly not open to interpretation or ego driven opinions. The alphabet goes from A to Z where I come from - and that's a standard, too. I'll stick to the grading that I was brought up on and will follow the advice my uncle gave me thirty plus years ago - buy the coin you like, grade it and price it yourself.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I honestly don't know how any of this can be an argument. Doug has said it emphatically and many agree - wear is wear. I have a worn copy of Photograde (the buffalo pages are pretty beat up) that still does the trick for me. I am perfectly fine if they want to give it a green bean for exceptional toning or a purple unicorn (fictional) for fully split bands - but an AU coin is still an AU coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
