<p>[QUOTE=&quot;imrich, post: 2461730, member: 22331&quot;]This is an open forum where all have the possible right to express their opinion. I have allowed your ranting without subjective response (i.e. being able, and usually providing&nbsp; support for any opposing objective assertions). I abhor (may be too strong) individuals seemingly incapable of consistency to be objective, accusing others of certain thoughts/actions which can readily be shown false. Objectivity however requires one having the faculties/ability to accept truths.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know it is probably futile to present the truth, but I&#039;ll try. The current &quot;standard&quot; using the publication I believe you&#039;d have others accept as the only viable source, states for the discussed type coin in MS65 Grade: &quot;No trace of wear; nearly as perfect as MS67 except for some small blemish. Has full mint luster and brilliance. A <span style="color: #ff0000">FEW <span style="color: #000000">MINUTE</span></span> bag marks and surface abrasions may be present.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Your Honor, members of the jury, I believe you&#039;ve viewed both referenced coins. A common statement used occasionally is</p><p>&quot;a world that increasingly belongs to the few&quot;. I believe &quot;<span style="color: #ff0000">FEW</span>&quot; in this statement refers to the &quot;1%&quot;, a very large number accepted by virtually all without objection. May we assume that &quot;<span style="color: #ff0000">FEW</span>&quot; is less than the MANY 99%, a large quantitative number less than others, but more than a couple ....? Since a specific number is unmentioned in the standard, could we possibly assume that the &quot;<span style="color: #ff0000">FEW</span>&quot; stated is that of my quote? I believe possibly so, unless proven to the contrary, and that the initial coin linked/viewed, meets the standard.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 2nd coin may also meet the standard, but it&#039;s believed that &quot;market grading&quot; criteria may have been applied to allow a vague definition of &quot;<span style="color: #ff0000">SMALL BLEMISH</span>&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>I rest my argument![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
