<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 2759143, member: 15309&quot;]It seems apparent that the TPG believes that the coin is uncirculated and what you are discerning as wear, is actually weak strike.&nbsp; Since the coin has the worst strike you have ever seen for a shield nickel, that is an entirely reasonable assumption.&nbsp; Once they deemed the coin MS, the strike is no longer really relevant.&nbsp; What do you want them to do, grade is MS60 solely on strike and ignore the surfaces and luster?&nbsp; Not to mention, you are looking a terrible photo with an incorrect white balance whilst the TPG actually saw the coin in hand.&nbsp; Keep trying, this one is a nothingburger.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>There is nothing contradictory about the fact that the TPGs can make mistakes in both directions, that is just silly.&nbsp; And I admitted that the quarter was a low end MS67 as opposed to and MS67+.&nbsp; That is much different than being off by two grades.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for their inconsistency, welcome to the subjectivity inherent in coin grading.&nbsp; Do you own any US Coins in TPG plastic?&nbsp; Run a few guess the grades and see how many people get the grades right.&nbsp; Or you can continue to focus on the examples that are most controversial to fit your narrative that they are inconsistent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
