As I said in the beginning, it's possible. But look at the rest of the coin, and realize that not all damage to the rim of a coin starts at the...
This would be one of mine - Flanders. Louis de Mâle 1346-1384 Lion d'Or
He has a consistent problem of looking at coins with his eyes shut and his mouth open. I keep trying to instill in him that it's the other way...
'Tis hopeless, truly hopeless :rolleyes:

Just curious Greg, can you expand on that please ? What do you mean by split the grades ?
To be quite honest, there's not much that needs changed IMO. Do away with any value connection at all. Everybody follow the ANA standards and...
Good Lord I'm still trying you about gold and now ya wanna learn about copper ? :eek:
Thanks for the candid answer. I never have been a fan of Photograde myself, but I gotta say, IMO, the way you learned MS grading is probably the...
