<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 3350265, member: 78244&quot;]I think I have only see you admit this in practice once (a straight-graded 1819 quarter with the 25 C scratched out). You have defended the grade practically every other time. And other times you have refused to take a position on whether or not you agree with the grade (a straight-graded 1798 quarter eagle with such severe damage that auction cataloguers were compelled to make note of it).</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I know it does not change from day to day (it was simply to use the expression), which is why I said “quarter to quarter”. And by “quarter” I meant business quarters, not quarter dollars.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And what about the stuff that is far from borderline? Clear harsh cleanings, significant scratches, bends, environmental damage, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Do you think I don’t know that? The hairlines seen on the first 1818 quarter are from a harsh cleaning, not normal circulation.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And you take the same coins which you have not seen in hand, even ones I <i>have</i> seen in hand, and try to defend the grade. </p><p><br /></p><p>This coin had been cleaned, has some digs, and a long scratch behind the head (the obverse streak is a planchet flaw). PCGS graded it AU-50 when I was expecting AU details. You defended the grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]887092[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]887093[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
