<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 2094574, member: 15309"]Stop beating around the bush. If you have something to say, say it. I deduced that you don't have a cellphone because your philosophy with regards to coin grading is rigid & antiquated. Given your personality and age, it was logical to assume that you would also resist progress in other areas of life, including technological advances. You call it stereotyping, but that is just a meager attempt to prey upon the political correctness of others who don't want to be guilty of "stereotyping" as if it was more evil than the most heinous crime. What you should do is try to understand why I was able to deduce that you don't have a cellphone and what it says about you!</p><p><br /></p><p>The only one who thinks that market grading standards are spurious is you. That is the whole point of this conversation. The grading process has evolved from the black and white rendition that you love so much. Instead of adapting to the new and improved standards, you just cry about them incessantly. And it is tiresome, so very tiresome.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the Saints, I don't understand your question. They certainly were not struck with high point friction. The friction is the result of coin to coin contact within the bags. I have only ever owned one Saint in my life. And believe it or not, it was an MS63 with rainbow toning. This coin had high point friction on both the breast and knee. The TPGs deemed that the coin was mint state because there were no traces of wear in the fields of the coin. That is their standard, and the standard that has been accepted by the rest of the numismatic community, whether you like it or not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
