<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2350252, member: 69760&quot;]EDIT: IMHO the <b><i><u>edge</u></i></b> is the most underrated part of a coin. Though technically, TPGs do mention rim nicks and such that affect the edge. But don&#039;t they deserve more comprehensive attention? They are, after all, a part of the coin&#039;s surface.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some coins may have security edges, others may have incused inscriptions, raised letters and designs, etc. Others may be simple and highly polished like on the Austria Philharmonic 1 oz rounds - if there&#039;s a fingerprint on there, or a minor blemish that would otherwise make it an MS-70, would the TPG&#039;s ignore it?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So why don&#039;t they? Is it a conspiracy by TPGs not to grade edges because they handle coins by hand on the edges? lol I&#039;d like to think that. But why do they seem to largely neglect the rim, let alone even showcasing the edges on their slabs?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
