<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 26761874, member: 101855&quot;]The EAC collectors have a different system. Don’t think that their grading system will give you bargains. Their prices run way ahead of catalogs for the given grades. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you think I’m tough, you can look at Bill Noyers, who published a series of books with pictures and his grades on the finest known early large cent (1893 - 1814) Sheldon varieties. For example I have an 1802 large cent in PCGS MS-63, Brown CAC. His grade for it is AU-55! </p><p><br /></p><p>In recent years the systems have kind of merged as the new generations of EAC collectors have accepted slabbing. Now auction houses like Heritage show the slab grade and their EAC grade. In the Winter FUN sale there was a Chain Cent that was graded EF-40. Heritage said the EAC the EAC grade was VF-35. The coin big marks on the face of Ms. Liberty. My net EAC grade was VF-25. The coin sold for less than an EF-40 usually brings.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
