I know what you published Archie. You can't get around your own definition:

""It is not unusual in the coin industry for the slab to be physically cracked open with force, the coin removed, and is re-submitted either to the same grading company, or another one, in the hopes that it will come back at a higher grade than it had previously.""

So it isn't the case. It is the grade.

Thanks for making my point.
