[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1638940, member: 112"]Was it ? Do you deny the scratches are there ? I mean, I can see them plain as day, so how was that a bad rap ? Ask yourself this question, if it were a common date Lib that sold for roughly melt in that condition - same scratches - would you grade the coin or put it in a Details/Genuine slab ? Also, what would the TPGs do ? 99 out of a 100 times it's going in the D/G slab. And that's the problem I see. There should be no favoritism shown by the TPGs because of a coin's rarity or value. If a cheap common coin would be determined to be a problem coin for a given reason, then an expensive coin should be determined to be problem coin when the same reason exist. Now the inconsistent part I'll go along with. That has existed since day one and always will. There have been countless examples of coins that were deemed problem coins (for various reasons) one time and slabbed the next time. That is nothing new.[/QUOTE]
