<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 3534697, member: 15309"]The problem is that PCGS allows shallow marks across the steps as long as (in their opinion) it doesn’t fully interrupt the steps. Also, it is common for coins to appear to have step interrupting marks at certain angles, but appear full step in other angles. It really is something that needs to be evaluated in hand. I’m not saying that PCGS hasn’t screwed the pooch with some of their FS designations, only that it’s not rampant. That said, it’s little consolation to the guy who paid $25K for a $100 coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
