<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2739406, member: 112&quot;]The why is simple. When they were coming up with the special designations for coins, meaning not just Jeffs but all of them, they intentionally utilized an aspect that would actually work, could be found. </p><p><br /></p><p>In other words, what good would a special designation be if you could never find a coin that actually met the requirements ?</p><p><br /></p><p>The same reasoning is applied to why they switched the requirements to only having 5 steps required instead of 6, or only one set of bell lines on a Frankie instead of both, or only the center bands on a Merc instead of all 3. </p><p><br /></p><p>People &quot;WANT&quot; their coins to get the special designations. Sooooo&nbsp; - if not enough coins are getting the designation, there&#039;s an easy fix - just make the requirements less stringent and folks will be happy.</p><p><br /></p><p>And that reasoning is also partially responsible, but only partially, for the loosening of TPG grading standards over the years. Simply put if ya wanna stay in business you gotta give people what they want.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
