<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fred13, post: 2321375, member: 20688&quot;]All of the major auctions that wrapped up in the last few weeks had some spectacular material to be sure. However I also noticed quite a bit of dreck. Perhaps its just a coincedance based on the coins I looked at but I noticed many problem coins that were not labeled so. Now the TPG&#039;s definitely miss the boat every now and then but it seems they are off much more frequently these days.</p><p><br /></p><p>All the more reason to buy the coin and not the holder</p><p><br /></p><p>The first coin the 1695 Louis D&#039;or was graded XF 40. After seeing the coin in hand I thought it deserved a details grade just based on the hairlines. However how is that huge gash across the head accepted as problem free lol</p><p><br /></p><p>The second coin was graded MS 65. That is just silly as the coin is covered with hairlines and scratches</p><p><br /></p><p>Has anyone noticed a similar trend perhaps across the U.S coins as well?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]469252[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]469253[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]469254[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
