<p>[QUOTE="Numismat, post: 2035060, member: 15019"]That is a logical way of thinking about it, and would be great if it were as clear cut with slabs as it is to the trained eye. It's not how the TPGs think though. If all grading was purely technical there would be a shortage of truly UNC coins. "Market acceptable UNC" has filled the void. These are coins with very minor touches of wear that are apparently acceptable as MS to the TPGs, like your 1902.</p><p>The "in-between" here is not about the coin at all, it's about the policies and practices of the third party grading services.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
