<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gronnh20, post: 3715277, member: 73224&quot;]I feel just the opposite.&nbsp; I think the designations that classify a coin with a strong strike ruin the underlings of these coins.&nbsp; Roosevelt dimes are a good example.&nbsp; Roosevelt dimes without a FT or FB behind the grade are basically worthless.&nbsp; When you find a year in which FT/FB designation is absolutely rare, then coins without that designation become valuable in high grades.&nbsp; Buffalo nickels have strike issues from start to finish in that series.&nbsp; Yet, there are no designations on slabs to indicate a well struck coin.&nbsp; One MS65 Buffalo nickel is priced the same as another MS65 Buffalo nickel.&nbsp; I as a informed buyer, of Buffalo nickels, knows there is a difference.&nbsp; Hence, I use that to my advantage to make a better buy over the uninformed.&nbsp; The TPGs take the numismatist out of numismatics.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
