<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2571773, member: 19463&quot;]The coin with all its good points shows texture (dark in photo) on both sides but worse on reverse far beyond what could allow a 5 for surfaces.&nbsp; Since all we have is a photo, it is hard to say whether this uneven texture is bad enough to call a 3 but all the other specimens (many worn or otherwise lesser) strike me as having better surfaces.&nbsp; This is a coin I would never remove from the slab. It would not be criticized by buyers of slabs but the features that led to it getting 4&#039;s would offset demand for an unworn coin in the raw market.&nbsp; Some of us would rather have Ajax&#039; worn but well struck and smooth example. That is why they made a million of them - we each can find the one we like.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
