<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 956682, member: 15309&quot;]It would make sense if I didn&#039;t own the coin.&nbsp; But since I do and have the opportunity to view it in hand, I am inclined to say it is MS.&nbsp; While there are flat areas on the devices that look like wear, there is no discernable friction in the fields.&nbsp; The coin is certainly not XF.&nbsp; Based on the accounts of Nagengast and the previous examples I have seen in slabs, the coin is mint state.</p><p><br /></p><p>Furthermore, I don&#039;t believe that the TPG&#039;s are purposefully pushing the limits in order to change grading standards.&nbsp; Their success as a company is dependent upon consumer confidence in their grading.&nbsp; If they constantly push the limits, they will erode that confidence.&nbsp; You realize they collect the grading fee no matter what grade they assign don&#039;t you?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
