    If the rim nicks can't be seen, why would they matter?

    That was one of the examples I was think about image

    AU58 net graded to AU50 due to a rim cut you had to search for under light with a 10x loupe as it was burried in the gasket.

    There's 3 sides to a coin Obverse, Reverse, Edge and only the TPG service has a chance to see it raw.

    Another example that comes to mind is tough variety Petite Head 1c purchased and cracked out by a member only to discover a nasty rim cut hidden directly under the white prong.

    Seems Coinguy posted about this years ago.

    Someone kept resubmitting a beautiful coin in the holder and couldn't figure out why it wouldn't upgrade. The graders kept seeing the edge problem and wouldn't upgrade it. image

    If I could use the search function well, I could probably find the thread..... image

    Keep in mind even the new holders don't show the whole rim.
    That is one of my concerns with the all the hoopla about grading the holders. No matter what 100% of the coin cannot be seen.

    Good point as 50% +/- is still hidden today...
