<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1894788, member: 15309&quot;]And we are trying to teach you, but you seem very uninterested in learning.&nbsp; Even Doug doesn&#039;t see anything on this coin that would warrant a details grade for damage and his grading standards are the most conservative I have ever seen with regards to the present topic.&nbsp; The coin is not a problem coin.&nbsp; If you submit it for grade review, you will get the same coin back with a note saying that they think the grade is accurate. </p><p><br /></p><p>The real problem is the level of magnification that you are using.&nbsp; The TPG graders use 5x magnification (if any at all) when grading a coin.&nbsp; You have decided to use an extreme level of magnification and have convinced yourself that that a minor blemish is the grand canyon.&nbsp; I see at least 3 other marks in your photos that you have not mentioned.&nbsp; The one near the &quot;E&quot; is the same size as the ones that you are complaining about.&nbsp; Yet you only seem concerned with the two marks that criss cross.&nbsp; If these marks were parallel, would that make you feel better?</p><p><br /></p><p>Furthermore, why are you convinced that the so called &quot;x&quot; is the deliberate result of someone with a staple?&nbsp; Have you ever seen a coin with a staple scratch before?</p><p><br /></p><p>I have no idea why this tiny blemish on this coin has spurred you to blame the TPGs or why you think that a TPG provided description would solve anything at all.&nbsp; If you want to place blame, <u>blame yourself</u> for using magnification higher than 5x.&nbsp; Or <u>blame yourself</u> for buying a coin sight unseen from an E-Bay seller with substandard photos.&nbsp; Or <u>blame yourself</u> for refusing to return a coin that you are obviously unhappy with.&nbsp; You seem to think that others should bear the responsibility of preventing you from making mistakes.&nbsp; Life doesn&#039;t work that way.&nbsp; Admit your own mistakes and solve your problem by returning the coin to the seller within his stated return policy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
