<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2440871, member: 76194&quot;]It is very difficult to assign a conventional grade to an ancient coin because of multiple factors that come with the handmade label. The flans are going to vary in quality from one coin to another due to the fact that they were handmade, and the burial conditions of the individual coins can affect preservation. The quality of the engravings on the dies can vary substantially depending on the skills of the individual engravers, and some dies we&#039;re used to the point that they were worn, rusty, and cracked. Not to mention that because each coin was struck by hand, the force of the strike, the centering of the design on the flan, and other factors will mean that each coin is unique and completely different from the previous one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
