<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treylxapi47, post: 1894080, member: 41863&quot;]I was discussing why I don&#039;t particularly care for the TPGs and I was giving this coin as an example. </p><p><br /></p><p>It is an 1891 (fairly common) Seated Liberty Quarter. It is graded by PCGS as a problem free AU-58 (decent grade, but again not exactly rare), and seems to be somewhat recently graded as it is in a three-prong slab. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway on the reverse is not one, but TWO scratches forming a very clear &#039;X&#039;. Please tell me how that is market acceptable, and not damaged? </p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe I&#039;m missing something, but maybe slabs should come with data cards giving an auction like description so we all know what we are buying. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]323061[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]323063[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The first shows the X quite well, and the second should show the shimmering effect of how fresh the metal itself looks scratched. </p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe the slabs should have the normal basic info on the front as normal and then on the back of the slab a two sentence description highlighting the best feature and the worst feature of the given coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>For example on my coin it should be something like a very pleasing and eye appealing lightly circulated seated quarter. Most perceptible issue noted is a small X scratched to the right of the eagles head directly below &#039;trust&#039;. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, can anyone explain how that is market acceptable? To me it&#039;s damaged and that can never be changed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
