<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 2534008, member: 10461&quot;]Oh, and as to auction descriptions and MS grades on ancients, my one piece of ancient gold was &quot;gVF&quot; at CNG, with slight edge crease noted.</p><p><br /></p><p>That translated to &quot;MS&quot;, with &quot;wrinkled&quot; notation at NGC.&nbsp; I can&#039;t complain, though I find &quot;wrinkled&quot; a rather bizarre descriptor for a coin.&nbsp; I&#039;m more accustomed to seeing &quot;wavy flan&quot; used on thin hammered pieces.&nbsp; &quot;Wrinkled&quot; sounds more extreme to me. But this coin&#039;s flan is not what I would call particularly wavy or wrinkled.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k173/lordmarcovan/AncientByzantineEmpire-AV-tremissis-JustinianI-035863-coin-800x500.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k173/lordmarcovan/AncientByzantineEmpire-AV-tremissis-JustinianI-035863-slab.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
