[QUOTE="900fine, post: 489770, member: 6036"]The coins differ by two full points. That's a fair spread - hardly negligible. How can one say the 2-point spread is due [I]solely[/I] to surface preservation ? Particularly if the differences are "subtle" ? It's more reasonable to conclude that [I]part[/I] of the 2-point spread [I]is[/I] due to strike... maybe most of it. From these 5 coins alone, I certainly can't conclude that TPGs ignore strike on Peace dollars. Add to the 2-pts the possibility that (in the TPG's eyes) the best coin almost made the next grade up, while the lowest coin is low end, and it's possible the true difference in the TPG's eyes was really 3 points.[/QUOTE]
