<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dltsrq, post: 24591315, member: 75482&quot;]The host coin appears to be worn to VF or so. I can only assume that the AU-53 grade applies only to the counterstamp, not the host. Note that the EB counterstamp is directly on the plug which was most likely inserted by Brasher himself, who not only <u>approved</u> the coin with his counterstamp but <u>regulated</u> it by bringing it back up to weight with the plug, after having been clipped previously. More problematic is the second clipping, apparently post-Brasher. If only the counterstamp is graded, however, any damage to the host is irrelevant. To truly grok TPG grading of esoteric pieces such as this, one must first (in my opinion) acquire proficiency in the arcane arts... &#039;smoke and mirrors&#039;.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.pcgs.com/auctionprices/item/1784-95-8-ephraim-brasher-c-m-brazil-1754-b-6400-r/495/5861753884025866757/1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/auctionprices/item/1784-95-8-ephraim-brasher-c-m-brazil-1754-b-6400-r/495/5861753884025866757/1" rel="nofollow">https://www.pcgs.com/auctionprices/item/1784-95-8-ephraim-brasher-c-m-brazil-1754-b-6400-r/495/5861753884025866757/1</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
