<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2743679, member: 1892&quot;]I see not a thing wrong with your method. Yes, one might do something which looks like &quot;grading on a bell curve&quot; with - for instance - New Orleans Morgans, but only after discerning whether the coin was weakly-struck or not. A coin&#039;s grade, to an extent, must answer to &quot;what the best the die can produce&quot; might be. Up to a certain grade level (above 65) where one must begin measuring against &quot;perfection.&quot; At least from my viewpoint, strength of strike should be a major starting point for <b>every</b> coin evaluation.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin here is well struck from a New Orleans standpoint, but I&#039;m still factoring what I see around the ear/hair when calling it AU55.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
