<p>[QUOTE="Ken Dorney, post: 2559761, member: 76086"]Hmmm. Well, I suppose they could have inserted "For Issue" after the XF designation. As Doug points out these typically come in really crummy condition. Even Byzantine coins might be XF for wear but look "Fine" in appearance. It's a fine line. But once again, as a dealer, its why I rarely offer a grade. With a good photo one can decide for themselves.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
