[QUOTE="Mikey Zee, post: 2565838, member: 72818"]This has been a spirited and interesting thread:D Needless to say I also agree the OP is grossly over graded. I rarely agree with any assigned 'grade' and assess a coin details and it's overall eye-appeal within my own personal parameters. Once I owned several thousands of coins and about 3/4's of them were 'moderns', so I suppose I 'instinctively' place my subjective grade on all I'm interested in while comparing them to other similar types (for reasonable market value as I HATE overpaying LOL). Generally, I select coins that are most interesting to me for all the reasons [USER=51347]@Alegandron[/USER] has stated--- normal wear being less a concern than surface damage...... and historical context, cool devices and centering being most important to me within the price range I am willing to pay.[/QUOTE]
