<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pickin and Grinin, post: 3297800, member: 73995&quot;]Here we go again. A non sensical and inflammatory statement, not to mention whimsical. And definitely not a reason to change the definition of AU. This is exactly why threads were better back in the day. </p><p><br /></p><p>AU is a condition - MS is a condition. </p><p>An AU coin should never attain the status of MS. Period</p><p>This type of action defies what every collector should be learning. </p><p><br /></p><p>The standards are in no way flawed, what is flawed is the way a dealer/newbie or un-educated person acts when they don&#039;t get there way. </p><p>It is fairly easy to see that you fit at least one of those category&#039;s. And the TPG&#039;s have catered to those just like you. They cut off their nose despite their face.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;You might think we all went off on a tangent but we didn&#039;t. Condition and grade used to be the same thing. It used to be easily defined, but market grading is defying every aspect of how the majority of us were educated, not to mention the generations before us.</p><p><br /></p><p>The change is nothing more than a way to fatten their pocket book. It is meant to gain submissions. And does nothing more than benefit the TPG.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
