<p>[QUOTE="Mac McDonald, post: 8357336, member: 117420"]Personally, I believe any vote for "details" (a vote to essentially trash an otherwise fine, legitimate coin) is a BIG part of what's wrong with TPGing...it's the SCOURGE of TPGing...and needs to be re-thought/re-considered/re-evaluated for credibility...and then removed, as it's currently done all-too-often. The "details" designation has become too easy and vague...like an excuse...like a disease that spreads and grows. For this, either a straight grade of MS68FS with a label comment of either: "reverse scrape on pillar below dome"...or, "reverse details"...OR...net-grade it straight as MS67FS and let the market determine value at sale(s). Obviously common sense says it's not/nothing intentional...not grafitti, etc...no altering of coin's script or of key devices such as to prevent identification or attribution, etc. We've allowed the devil in/to the "details" way too much/far and we need to preform an exorcism.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
