That should be the ONLY question for the grade. As a collector, it may be interesting as to why, but if the details there forna Fine grade or not? WAY too much, &quot;the issue is know for weak strikes&quot;, or &quot;struck from worn die&quot; etc etc. Its a bunch of garbage. Are the details there?</p><p><br /></p><p>It is this way in ancients. We are ok some coins left the mint in VG. We do not say VF for the issue. Some US dealers getting into ancients do, and as soon as I see an excuse I never buy from that dealer. It is either a Fine or not, no excuses to me. Maybe nice Fines are really rare for X reasons, that is ok, just don&#039;t grade a VG at best Fine because Fines are scarce.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
