[QUOTE="Cherd, post: 24641660, member: 24754"]I guess we have to come up with some extreme standards when trying to distinguish the upper echelons of recent modern coinage. But as an outsider looking in, it seems a bit over the top to implement a whole tier of grading criteria for a feature that requires a microscope to even observe. I don't know about everybody else, but I do not normally utilize a microscope when enjoying my collection. That being said, since I can't see it anyway, the tier of grading that I'd have to pay for would amount to nothing more than some designation on the slab ("FS" in this case). I do, however, see the allure in this. When there are so many fantastic looking examples of the thing that you want to collect, then you'll feel motivated to seek out a feature that separates your collection from the rest. But in cases like this, I feel that I would benefit overall from not getting caught-up in the first place. Matter of personal opinion of course, each to their own.[/QUOTE]
