<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2503220, member: 24314&quot;]I would have agreed with you in the 1980&#039;s - solid XF; however, coins with this amount of rub on the areas that are often weak to begin with are COMMONLY graded today as AU-55 to 58 (toning is also a plus) and sold for MS-62&#039;s! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie46" alt=":facepalm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>The &quot;halo effect&quot; on the reverse indicates old cleaning as you have said and it was net graded FOR SURE - possibly the cleaning or possibly the minor damage, or even possibly something on the edge we cannot see. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>...and that is the main problem with &quot;net&quot; grading.&nbsp; If you cannot see the coin, you don&#039;t know what you are going to get!&nbsp; When you can see the coin, you need to figure out what the &quot;problem&quot; is!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie98" alt=":wacky:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie20" alt=":banghead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie20" alt=":banghead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie20" alt=":banghead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie20" alt=":banghead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
