Lol, "weasel-out, wiggle room". The remainder of the numismatic world calls this SUBJECTIVITY.
I have already explained it several times. And those two coins, while nice, don't come close to the overall visual impact that the coin in the OP...

That's not true, I admitted in the other thread that my standards are more conservative than NGCs. And in this thread I'm giving my personal...

I appreciate the insight into your opinions on the coin, but with respect, you didn't give me what I asked for. I want a numerical grade for each...
I really think there is a solution to this problem of market grading a coin with mix matched attributes. Play along and see what we come up with....
And that's fine, nobody is suggesting that you have to like the eye appeal of that Mercury. My point is that this thread is about overgraded...
