[QUOTE="Kirkuleez, post: 2101677, member: 36864"]I never said that TPGs are grading on a curve nor did I ever insinuate that as fact. We all understand that some friction occurs after leaving the dies and is on its general way through normal channels. From what I have learned over the years, the debate is the difference between die state and mint state. Some would argue that once a coin sees friction, that it could no longer be mint state, but others would say that a coin needs to make it's way through commerce to actually he circulated.
