<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 867290, member: 15309&quot;]You two really like to argue with each other don&#039;t ya! Let me shed some light the situation.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Mark, did you notice that nobody jumped on SE after his thumbing comment. At first glance of the PCGS photo, the dark area on the cheek bears resemblence to how a thumbed coin would look after time. The practice of thumbing is usually done to mint state coins in order to hide surface flaws and increase the grade. Since this coin is considered mint state by the TPG&#039;s, thumbing is not entirely out of the question.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>However, I can&#039;t imagine how thumbing a coin with so much &quot;cabinet friction&quot; would help increase the grade of the coin. In the end, this coin is not what I would consider a good candidate for a thumbing coin doctor. For that reason, I find it highly unlikely that the coin is thumbed.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Personally, I don&#039;t really think SE believed the coin was thumbed but I do believe he was trying to get you goat![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
