[QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 3244314, member: 78244"]Exclusively for classic US coins (and probably just for circulated classic pre-Barber US coins). That means for everything else you can pretty blindly trust 100%, though I prefer to be picky. Mostly on Facebook. But check out my comments in the gassed slab thread. I knew NGC would not slab such an AT coin, so I defended them until it was proven it was gasses. You already know that I accept the fact that the TPG standard is to ignore [I]minor[/I] problems on the rare and valuable early US coins. So I posted two coins that met that standard, and two more which met the standard of “detailing” coins with significant damage. If a coin blantantly does not meet the standards established by the TPG, then I argue that the graders made a mistake. Seems logical. And my claim for inconsistency stems only from the line which delineates “details” from “straight.”[/QUOTE]
