<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 527449, member: 112&quot;]Not much to explain is there ? Other than the fact that PCGS obviously screwed up big time with that grade what else is there to say ?</p><p><br /></p><p>The thing that kills this coin in regard to grade is the eagle&#039;s head being worn smooth. Other than that, it meets the ANA criteria for VF20.

But enough to warrant XF40 ? No way. But neither would I agree that this PCGS coin is worthy of VF20. Kind of shows that PCGS tends to overgrade these lower grades wouldn&#039;t you say ?</p><p><br /></p><p>This is an example of a PCGS VF35 - </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://images.ha.com/lf?source=url[file:images/inetpub/newnames/300/3/0/1/2/3012151.jpg],continueonerror[true]&amp;source=url[file:images/inetpub/webuse/no_image_available.gif],if[('global.source.error')]&amp;sink" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://images.ha.com/lf?source=url[file:images/inetpub/newnames/300/3/0/1/2/3012154.jpg],continueonerror[true]&amp;source=url[file:images/inetpub/webuse/no_image_available.gif],if[('global.source.error')]&amp;sink" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>See any comparison between that VF35 and the OP&#039;s XF40 ? They aint even close. But I would say that this 35 meets the ANA criteria for a VF30.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
