<p>[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 3716052, member: 19165"]Good question. I know that there are some series where collectors already seek out well struck examples, even though the TPG's don't designate them. For example, I know that Susan B. Anthony collectors seek out Full Talons. And I know that Walker collectors seek out Full Thumb, and Buffalo collectors seek out Full Horn. There is already a premium paid for these examples, even if it isn't codified or recognized by the TPG. I'm kind of surprised that they don't recognize those yet. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have long said that I'd be in favor of a generic Full Strike designation, applicable to all series. That may be difficult because you'd have to clearly publish what determines a "full strike" for that series.
