<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 2768006, member: 15309&quot;]When I saw you posting a bunch of gtg threads using Heritage photos, I assumed your goal was to in some way expose what you consider to be the inconsistencies of the grading system employed by the TPGs.&nbsp; Now, I have no idea what you are trying to do.&nbsp; You don&#039;t collect chain cents, and more to the point, I doubt if you have ever even seen one in hand, much less a high grade example like the one shown here.&nbsp; The TPGs know far more about these coins than you do and my guess is that you are going to embarrass yourself with your commentary in this thread.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now that I have that off my chest, let me try to grade a coin from a series that I don&#039;t collect, have never seen one in hand, from an overexposed Heritage beauty shot.&nbsp; Using just fundamental numismatic grading skills with no knowledge of the series, I grade the coin XF45.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is wear on the highpoints of the coin but it is not enough to really impact the details of the design.&nbsp; The fields also show wear and seem not to have any real luster.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
