For example, and I'm talking of the '21 Peace here since it was brought up, you could have 2 coins where marks, luster, eye appeal etc were equal but one had a slightly better strike than the other. But both coins had too many marks or the luster wasn;t quite good enough to make 66 - both coins would grade 65.
However, if you take 2 other coins, one with a good strike and one with a weak strike, and the one with the weak strike had the qualifications in all criteria except strike to make 66 - then it would be graded 65. And if the quality of strike on the other one was good enough to make 66 then it would be graded 66 because it did have a good enough strike. |
So it's not the strike raising the grade , but a poor strike preventing a grade ?
