[QUOTE="jester3681, post: 2461700, member: 53130"]PCGS must have gotten (97 - Environmental Details) stuck in the copy machine this weekend, because the group of three Fugios I submitted all got hit. Ugh... Now, that said, I knew one would definitely come back details - my 17-WW was pretty crusty, but I wanted it certified, and TrueViewed, and all the other benefits of giving it a tiny plastic house. The other two were both "Raised Rim" Fugios, a 12-Z and a 19-Z. Both had porosity, which I felt was market acceptable for the expected grades (incidentally, the grades received were all on point with my expectations). I guess my stance was, "yes, PCGS, there is some roughness on the flan, but a very good coin that's over 200 years old is likely to exhibit this." Their stance was, "na-na na-na boo-boo." ;) I hope the TrueView pics hit soon - I'm interested to get a feeling from other collectors about this. Have you folks been similarly held to strict standards? I guess I'm in the EAC net grade mentality when I look at a coin and don't see the forest for the trees...[/QUOTE]
