<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1597487, member: 15309&quot;]Doug,</p><p><br /></p><p>I really think you missed Mike&#039;s point.&nbsp; Harkening back to your black and white nature, it should be easy for you to grade this coin as an AU58 every time.&nbsp; But when this coin is resubmitted, it isn&#039;t going to be seen by the same graders that saw it the first time.&nbsp; That is where the subjectivity comes from.&nbsp; And I submit to you that the graders that looked at this coin the first time did not follow the standards set by NGC.&nbsp; If they had, it would have been in an MS holder from get go.&nbsp; Furthermore, this coin was graded pretty recently as it resided in an edge-view holder which didn&#039;t start until 2008.&nbsp; I bought the coin in early 2009.</p><p><br /></p><p>My guess is that there are graders who agree with you about not making allowances for roll friction and some don&#039;t always follow the TPG rules that say they should make those allowances.&nbsp; After all, they can always say when questioned, IMO it looked like wear not roll friction.&nbsp; I mean, hasn&#039;t that been your point on this subject all along, that you can&#039;t tell the difference definitively between the two?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
