<p>[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 5966936, member: 101855"][USER=246]@gmarguli[/USER], One of the points you made is that professional graders accuse the amateurs of getting hung up on small defects. Might I remind you that once you reach the MS-65 grade level, small defects are often deal breakers. As a dealer, you obviously know that.</p><p><br /></p><p>We shall agree to disagree on the grade for this coin. I’d give it a market grade of MS-62 with a real grade of AU-58. The rim marks, especially the one at 6k, below the fraction on the reverse is post mint damage. On an MS-65 graded coin, priced at over $80,000, that would be a deal breaker for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is unfortunate that you feel the need to defend TPG screw-ups. They exist.
