    There's a break in the luster somewhere, probably on the shield or wings.

    Look what I found while cruising the PCGS boards today. Truer words were never spoken SE.

    1934-S Peace Dollar from AU58 to MS61

    And do you not find it interesting as to when that coin was first slabbed Paul ?

    I am not sure where you are going with that, but I do find it ironic that PCGS announced that one of the benefits of the secure plus service would be to end gradeflation.

    Did you see this question posed in that thread:

    I would like to ask the grader how the hairlines ended up on the coin if is uncirculated. When someone mishandles a coin, the grade deserves to be punished. That fact that the coin is now in an MS61 holder is a joke.

    Another reason to trust your own eyes and skills before the TPG.

    I find it expected, not ironic. The TPGs are getting flack from more people than just me about value grading that has been going on. And they are stuck between a rock and hard place because of all the discussion there has been about the "coincidence" of grades dropping as prices drop.

    So as I see it, this is a way (I'd call it an excuse because they have been caught with their pants down) for them to lock in the grade and thus stop the value grading/gradeflation. But at the same time they are going to make sure they over-grade everything now. At least those submitted under the secure plus program.
