<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 2097805, member: 4920"]I wonder if we can engage in a little less cheerleading and a little more debate on the issue. At this point it seems pretty clear to me where the two positions diverge. Doug and I on the one hand are saying Lehigh and Morgandude on the other hand were simply fed a bill of goods by the TPGs and swallowed it. They don't have the first clue for it on how to grade coins. They're mixed up in the marketing, and, like the TPGs, need to make excuses for their grades so they can feel good about them. Their grades are held up on pretentious rationalizations, nothing better. When the wear on a coin is smack up against one's nose and one can't call it that and evaluate the condition of the coin, accordingly, but is rather obliged to fiddle around with semantics, that's what that means. </p><p><br /></p><p>Shall we continue the great debate?
