[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 1539159, member: 15309"]My experience in this matter is irrelevant in this case. PCGS has seen far more Saints than you and they are far more qualified than you.

Well if you would even bother to read my posts you would have known that it was a direct quote from the book. I will repeat the quote here: [COLOR="#0000FF"][/COLOR] Unlike you, I actually provide proof when I reference another source. You claim that PCGS won't grade a coin with high point wear MS68 or MS69. Why don't you show us where that is written by PCGS? PCGS gets paid whether they grade the coins AU or MS.
