<p>[QUOTE="johnny54321, post: 469650, member: 13342"]I hear you Richie. It all depends on what standard you use I suppose. The standard on barber coins is that the obverse rim needs to be complete, but the reverse does not. I've looked at many many G4s(pcgs ngc etc.) over the last month or so, and what I've noticed is that they all have full obverse rims, while only maybe 25% or so have full reverse rims. This puzzles me somewhat. It almost seems like there are striking weaknesses on the reverse of these early dates, because the vast majority of them seem to be noticibly weaker on the reverse than the obverse. The 1886 I posted showed that difference even more extreme. I truly wonder why this is?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
