[QUOTE="NPCoin, post: 405360, member: 5629"]Looks like you already got clarification and answered it. Personally, I like the idea of split grades. I buy coins sometimes simply for the fact that I "need" or want to take a picture of a coin in a particular grade, or I like the way the coin looks, though the opposite side I could care less about. If I want to take a photo of an MS-67 wheatie, I do not want the "worst side" to have been fudged from an MS-66 because of whatever reasons, and I [B]do[/B] believe that TPGs do this. I would rather pay "lower" prices also when the purpose is simply for a photo. I would rather pay "MS-66 money" on an MS-66/67 coin in order to get an MS-67 reverse photo. Very small niche indeed, but split grading would definitely lower overall costs. p.s. Yes, I do believe that TPGs will sometimes apply the "better" side to a coin if the grader believes "the market will accept it".[/QUOTE]
