AG3 Grades - Mercury Odd

<p>[QUOTE="RIchard Abanes, post: 6325449, member: 117841"]SO, I'm going to attempt to grade my mercury dimes. And while researching the various grades and those coins currently on sale that have been professionally graded by the recognized graders, I found a rather wide difference in coins, but all graded the same. So, it seems to me there is a kind of spectrum, say of AG3, where the lowest might be seen as a low-end AG3, while the better looking ones would be a higher grade AG3. All still AG3, but some slightly better (see photo attached). What is most odd to me is that in the photo I attached, the last two are graded at AG3... However, these two look almost identical to the next grade up G4/G6. In fact, these AG3 coins actually look a bit BETTER than some G4/G6 coins I've see online (all graded professionally and mounted). So..... any insight for me? Thanks.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1250690[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1250691[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1250692[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
