Message:: [QUOTE="bhp3rd, post: 558036, member: 16510"]This is not correct info. "in the real world" and perception    This is not correct info. "in the real world" in fact, it's never correct anywhere because it's the astute collector that can and often does profit by finding these little nuggets of better struck, harder date coins.You are right, though about perception. It is everything the colorblind person "sees what he sees" - that then becomes his/her reality.Who's to say all the rest of us with so called normal vision are seeing the correct color to begin with?Here's a good one for you, "I put a solid red table in a completely dark room" - "is it then still a red table"?Many say yes but I say no - why, because it's light that creates color, with no light the table really has no color, therefore it ceases to be red.Look to say a grade stands on it's own is in effect saying that coin grading is scientific - it is not - if it were it would be fairly boring and many of us would not be here.Plus what is wrong with a little ambiguity - it's the stuff of life. Look you bring me a raw perfect XF-45 1922 No D Lincoln without a mark on it, perfect color, even some red left, totally original but still, by technical standards a XF-45 and just see what the big "3" TPG companies would give it.  Further, see what money you could get.  I'll bet 2 out the "3" TPG's would give it an AU and you could sell it for AU $$$ - so then, if it act likes a AU and walks like a AU is it not an AU?  "No but",You know there are so many "No buts" in this world is it not the "no buts" that make the world go round - or in other words, is it not the "no buts" that are the reality of life regarless of "so called set in stone technical grading standards" - after all were they not supposed to be a guild?[/QUOTE]
