[QUOTE="BUncirculated, post: 1541237, member: 29581"][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] You can get that same effect from coins rubbing against one another in your pocket, just so you know.

[/COLOR] I disagree with it because PCGS wants to change the definition of wear and have exclusions for certain types of wear. I posted a link to an article, from their website, dated June 12, 1995, which you pointed out to me was from 1995. That article clearly states the standards that followed are the ANA standards, which I believe PCGS, as well as the other top TPGs followed. PCGS went their own way in 97 when they came out with their own grading standards. So you're saying they had no standards prior to 97? I agree![/QUOTE]
