<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 26112270, member: 105571&quot;]My surmise is that as long as the TPG can, with reasonable confidence, certify that the crack or other minting issue is actually &quot;as struck&quot;, then the only hard limit to providing a straight grade might be if the coin is in two pieces.&nbsp; At that point, they may not be able to certify that the two halves are both genuine parts of the original whole.&nbsp; Or, they may not be able or willing to try to holder such a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, there is probably a gray area in the case of extremely rare/valuable/notable coins where the TPG is willing to go the extra mile to determine whatever they need to determine and to provide a unique and custom holder.&nbsp; In such cases, they might decide that the marketing/PR value is worth any risk they take on by certifying such a coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
