There are and were so many aspects that were not defined by ANA, in any edition at any time and the logic for same was and is to not discourage hobbyists, because if the philosophy that GD espouses.... and that is all it is, a philosophy.... .was the collecting sword to die on, there would not be a thriving healthy hobby because every darn coin regardless of some theoretical grade would be rejected by the philosophical purists that think it is the only true God of Judgement.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know what that GD purist misguided illogical logic is, though,&nbsp; and it is not some factual fantastical stance for hobbyists to die for, and I know that GD, regardless of his admirable stance, is incredibly naïve to believe his philosophical &quot;Standard&quot; is free of all the evil influence of making a market and &quot;market&quot; grading and developed by persons/entities/ organizations with no ulterior motive, that was destroyed by the evildoers and practitioners of capitalism.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
