<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CircCam, post: 3244382, member: 85675&quot;]I see what you’re getting at, but it’s just arguing semantics.&nbsp; In general, a coin that is sitting in a PCGS or NGC slab with a straight grade is considered “problem free” due to the fact that most folks accept that they are an authority on what is and isn’t worthy of a straight grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>That doesn’t mean TPG’s are right 100% of the time, that anyone who trusts them to set the standard in the market for what is or isn’t a details coin is a mindless sheep worthy of ridicule, or that a dealer who calls a coin with an old cleaning in an XF40 slab “problem-free” should be tarred and feathered.&nbsp; It’s just what the phrase is generally accepted to imply.&nbsp; You guys know there is still tremendous value in knowing the difference...that separates you from the casual collector, it’s cool to be at that level! You earned it with your time and effort! Rejoice![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
