<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 2713735, member: 46237&quot;]Here&#039;s one of many examples where they got it wrong the first time. It does happen.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the first submission, this coin got a details grade for &quot;surface hairlines&quot;. I got the coin back and I louped it really closely, and there wasn&#039;t a single hairline to be seen. What it was was a later die state iron coin where the flow lines on the reverse had an unusual look. To someone giving the coin a quick glance, it could misleadingly appear to be hairlined, but it is an original look for this type in late die states.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]613305[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Knowing full well that they made a mistake, I cracked out the coin and sent it in with my next submission, and this time they got it right.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]613304[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>But like I said before, sometimes I get the coin back with a details grade and I look closely at it and realize there was a patch of hairlines (or something else) that I had missed before I submitted it, and they got it right where I had not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
