<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 2485750, member: 44316&quot;]The term &quot;grade&quot; refers to wear alone. You don&#039;t have to like that fact--it is just what &quot;grade&quot; means. The coin shows no wear. It is the strike &quot;4/5&quot; which is too high for the obverse, which is weakly struck. Giving one number to the strike when the coin has two sides is a flaw in the NGC system. What if a coin were perfectly struck on one side and 30% off-center from a worn die on the other? </p><p><br /></p><p>The term &quot;condition&quot; refers to far more about a coin than &quot;grade.&quot;&nbsp; If you want to include strike, patina, centering, etc., use the term &quot;condition.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
