<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4845186, member: 19463&quot;]They are using the now fashionable dodge of grading only based on wear.&nbsp; This coin has rather little wear but plenty of other problems.&nbsp; When I was new to the hobby, such a coin would have been dropped several grades to acknowledge its ugly surfaces (certainly 1/5 to the NGC system) but times are changing and few sellers are willing to admit they would handle a coin in VG.&nbsp; We even have many people who would prefer this coin to a smooth one with wear.&nbsp; I have worse ones but I would not call them VF.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
