<p>[QUOTE="cncman, post: 561178, member: 17256"]Thats one of the amazing realizations of grading, especially with TPG, they don't weigh strike as much as they should, except for on certain key designations like FB, FS, FH etc. But even then they don't look at the overall strike of the whole coin. I have seen plenty of strong strike AU-58s I would have over poor strike 63s. I have seen FB mercs with horribly weak obverses that had the same grade as a full strike obverse and reverse. I think they probably won't admit it but I bet they are looser with a FH desgination on a 25 up than on a high FH pop coin like a 17ty 1.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
