<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 7838987, member: 101855&quot;]This coin cropped up on the PCGS blog. This <i>almost</i> a really nice 1795 Flowing Hair Half Dollar. The trouble is the <b>&quot;X&quot;. </b>CAC put a green sticker on it. What do you think? </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1348115[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1348116[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>It might seem unfair, but random marks that happen during ordinary handling are part of the accepted. <b>Intentional Marks, </b>like this <b>&quot;X&quot;</b> are an issue. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you want talk about net grading, my conservative net grade for this piece would be EF-45. I see no luster on this piece, therefore I can&#039;t call it AU. The &quot;X&quot; means more than 5 grading points to me. Given its nature, it pulls the value of the piece closer to VF. </p><p><br /></p><p>Using Greysheet numbers, EF-40 bid is $4,600. VF-20 bid is $2,120. Usually a high end VF is priced closer to the VF-20 price than the EF-40 number. </p><p><br /></p><p>What do you think?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
