<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1792786, member: 26302&quot;]Sorry I was unclear. I am saying knowing how to technically grade is still a good skill to know, but in ancients its not AS important as it is in US coins. Most ancient collectors will on occasion choose a nice gF over a technical VF. Knowing how to technical grade should never change this.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I simply like knowing how to grade ancients properly so I can understand the dealer. If I know an ancient is technically a gF, if some dealer is trying to sell it to me as an XF or (shudder), AU, then I know to be careful of the man. If I find a great dealer like Frank Robinson who has never sent me a coin I would label as overgraded, then I know I can trust his judgment on coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
