[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 7780706, member: 115909"]Well you know that a 5/5 is only part of the grade right? Usually there is a normal grade like XF and then the strike & surface are graded out of 5. So a VF 5/5 strike 3/5 surface is still a VF coin. Basically what NGC is saying with the 5/5 is: “The strike of this coin is in the top 20% of VF coins we’ve graded and the surface is in the top 60% of VF coins we’ve graded.” If you compare a VF Strike 5/5 Surface 5/5 it’s still below the grade of an XF 2/5 Strike 2/5 Surface.[/QUOTE]
