[QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 3526362, member: 78244"]When you have a coin with equal amounts of obvious wear on both sides, I am less inclined to believe that it just happened to occur in a coin cabinet. Yeah, not having enough MS coins is pretty inconvenient isn’t it? :rolleyes: Only if it is inconsistent with their standards or practices. There have only been 3 times when I complained about the grades I received. One of those times, I went back and found hairlining I missed and decided the grade was correct. Another I proved to be incorrect by resubmitting. The third was demonstrably inconsistent with their standards. My standard of grading is based on what is officially published, and deviations from that are incorrect. If they redefine and publish the standards they use, then I will adjust my standards accordingly. But they haven’t done so. (Also I admitted fault above because I am correct 100% of the time :rolleyes:) No, I want them beholden to [B][I][U]A[/U][/I][/B] standard that is clearly defined and adhered to. See above. We’re talking about the standards and influence of a company, not the individual numismatists. Big difference.[/QUOTE]
