What I mean is do you own any obviously overgraded coins?
I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

All my other slabbed coins, all PCGS by the way, were sold awhile back.
nope
I have several undergraded, but no "gift" coins.
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.

(true story. I, now, have learned more about the dealers and don't bother with them unless I can semi-rip something since I see how they do it now)
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
but then I put my glasses on

I took the question to mean "from a real TPG" (if not PCGS specifically)
If the world was mine to mold into perfection, the top grade would be reserved for the coins that actually look nice. The once with the hideous die polish marks would not get high grades compared with the prettier ones.
I understand that die polish lines is not what numeric grading is about.
That said, if a numeric grade isn't being used to separate the good ones from the bad ones, then I think it has failed in it's mission of grading coins.
Aside from that, I have had a couple that were a few points overgraded, but nothing quite so heinous (at least nothing that was in top-tier plastic).

So, this means that everything we HAVE is a "gift grade" when it comes time to sell?

<< <i>I have a 1907 PCGS PR63 Liberty head nickel in an old green holder from 1990, which is going back to PCGS for grade guarantee review one of these days. I am not worried about it because I know PCGS will make good on it as soon as they see it. The coin is totally flatly struck, moreso than any proof coin of the era I have ever seen, and both sides of the coin are covered with parallel hairlines from whizzing. Not light/scattered lines, but continuous whizzing lines. If that isn't bad enough, the coin has toned over in milky/hazy gunk that is possibly some kind of dip residue or possibly PVC damage. I bought this coin only because it was included in a complete set, and I paid as little as possible for it. Oh well, even the best PCGS grader makes a mistake once in a while. >>
Hopefully you are not referring to something like these prestrike planchet striations:
Or these die polish lines:
I find it odd that, even with an older holder, that PCGS graders would miss a "whizzed" coin.

Yup. And after the dealer buys them, they magically become undergraded.

a friend bought this as a raw MS 62.
He asked me to submit it.
I told him it would be better in my Dansco 7070
It returned as MS 64. Drats.
