[QUOTE="mikenoodle, post: 8358667, member: 307"]ok... I have withheld comment on the process to this point, trying to "play the game" that you propose, [USER=24314]@Insider[/USER] , but here's the issue that I have with your premise. For a coin that has such an obvious issue, and I think we can agree it's obvious, as nobody missed the damage, why on earth would two graders miss the problem? You mean to tell me that two professional graders missed this damage?? I have to admit, I was a bit perplexed and as such I gave the coin a straight grade, thinking that based on the graders' opinions, it would (or should), indeed, straight grade. I always learn things in these threads, but the scenario had confusion baked right in because of this detail. I think the better and more productive conversation to have would be, "what should the graders give to this coin?" or something that talks about the subjectivity of damage happening at the Mint and whether or not it remains Mint State in all situations. ... but I digress[/QUOTE]
