<p>[QUOTE="Vertigo, post: 7427947, member: 118430"]You should find good photos to compare your coins to. And forget about anacs. Whoever wants to flame me go ahead. But I compare anacs to others and there's no comparison for me personally. There's more difference in grade than marks. You have to look at the coin as a whole. The strike, details are sharper on higher mint state coins. Imagine the brand new die ok. It is perfect. It strikes coin 1 makes a perfect strike. By the time coin 100 comes along it has struck 99 already. Each time it gains the slightest wear. Compare coin 100 to coin 1. The die has some wear. Not much but now it's 1 point lower. And so on. You're comparing a dime that wasn't packed into a treasury bag like a Morgan. Doesn't weigh nearly what a Morgan does. If you really understood those coins and how they were made, handled, you wouldn't be here spewing this nonsense. Having many coins doesn't make one more educated. Learning about the ones you acquire does[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
