fix "Gnunine"... or better yet, since one is "not genuine" make it "No Grade Codes"

I agree. Not their best idea ever...

I thought they only used the term, questionable authenticity.

Just have to look at the coin as many of those are obvious. Remember, if a coin gets any of these codes the coin may have multiple problems. For example a coin may have questionable color, be cleaned, scratched and damaged. But PCGS would only use on of the codes as they can't use multiple codes on the same coin. Really makes it a guessing game.

For example, I'd like to specifically know why one of my recent additions was given this designation.
It would great if we could look online and see publishable notes from the graders to better understand what they were seeing and documenting?
