<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1502388, member: 112&quot;]In my opinion, yes, it is. You see, when you are grading a coin it does not matter how or why a contact mark got there. It only matters that the mark is there at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any mark, any flaw, any hairline, any scratch, any point of wear etc. - all of those things detract from the grade of a coin, regardless of how or why they got there.</p><p><br /></p><p>So to make excuses and say the marks, flaws, whatever don&#039;t count on this coin or don&#039;t count as much because this coin is so and so - that just is not accurate grading. That is looking at the world through rose colored glasses and only seeing what you want to see. Short and sweet, that is a lie.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I don&#039;t know, maybe it doesn&#039;t matter to you or others that the TPG&#039;s lie, or if you prefer make excuses, but it should matter to you. Does it not matter to you when people tell you a lie about anything else ? It most most definitely matters to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>So why should it be any different with coins ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
