<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CircCam, post: 3299573, member: 85675&quot;]When I said 53 I was definitely thinking of that as a net grade as the wear doesn’t support it, in fact I didn’t really see any wear and just the slightest signs of circulation.&nbsp; To me it looks cleaned though, so giving it a straight MS grade doesn’t feel right either as the lack of luster and blotchy surfaces don’t look original and MS to my eyes. </p><p><br /></p><p>Hard to tell what the luster is like from these images, but from these alone it doesn’t look strong enough for a high AU or MS grade, but the detail is all there and there appears to be plenty of trace luster left, so I said 53.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as I can tell that’s the problem with net grading- if it’s been cleaned things don’t add up in one way or another, so if you try to assign it a straight grade to compensate for that value-wise it still doesn’t make sense.&nbsp; I suspect that may be the point of this thread, but we’ll see. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>As always, it’s just guessing from pictures so I reserve the right to be completely and utterly wrong.
