<p>[QUOTE="EyeEatWheaties, post: 1062743, member: 26972"]Keep in mind I am learning grading as fast as I can and that I am new to grades. For 35 years, I never paid any more attention than "oh.. thats a nice uncirculated coin" or "thats a worn circulated coin.. not worth much".....</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Rim, this is another example where I don't understand how much consideration is given to the reverse in relation to grading. It SEEMS TO ME that the most inconsistent thing about grading is how the reverse factors in. In the "post a reverse thread", that is sort of what I am trying to get at. If the reverse is crappy compared to the obverse, it will drag a grade down, however if the reverse is spectacular compared to the obverse, it won't bring a grade up... That just seems so wrong, I get it, but it really makes fine grading a subjective joke. IMO of course!</p><p><br /></p><p>here is the reverse of that '14 MS62BN the grader this day was having a bad day for sure. Good candidate for resubmission - I think it should go 65BN (comparatively to other 65BNs I have) especially considering the amount of luster this coin has. Sorry for hi-jacking this thread!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z242/papasteeze/2010_12_15_0550Large.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z242/papasteeze/2010_12_15_0549Large.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z242/papasteeze/2010_12_15_0551Large.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
