You guys love to point at the exceptions or what you consider egregious grading errors and you conveniently forget about thousand upon thousand of coins that are graded accurately. Furthermore, the topic of this thread isn’t about overall grading standards, it is about the implementation of a market grading exception, the allowance of high point friction for coins with Cabinet/Roll friction, to right a wrong in the grading system.
