<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jester3681, post: 2546791, member: 53130&quot;]I guess this is where I have a problem with TPGs sometimes. I feel that their service is to provide an unbiased technical grade of the coin, whether it be a 2016 Lincoln Shield pulled from circulation, or a seven-figure rarity from a notable collection. Strike is strike, details are details. And yes, part of their expertise is to recognise year/mint/type specific problems that may lead to a different grade than apparent, but to outright ignore an issue because of the value or provenance of the coin is a bit out of my comfort zone.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d argue that the 1804 Dollar, in a details slab with the graffiti noted, would have netted the same price at auction. Something like that, the true buyers know what they are getting regardless of the printing on the label. I&#039;d appreciate a more honest grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
