[QUOTE="Payton, post: 848489, member: 22129"]I have had the old margin discussion with TPG's until I feel like screaming. Often times it seems like talking in circles. First of all the scan or pic of the note in the PCGS 67 holder looks like the note is pregnant with the bulging sides. The PMG image looks a little more representative. In any event the right margin appears about 50% larger than the left. I have great respect for both TPG's but I have had absolute pristine notes with new embossing come back at CU64 due to margins that were not quite as "off" as this example. IMHO, the continued inconsistency of margin grading take aways (or lack of) should probably be addressed once and for all. If this note was in a CGX holder at a 67 I would just say "so what else is new". Must have been submitted by Ahmet, "the Spin man" (JVS), Michael A, Jack, etc..... So Brian to your point.
