For "hammered" I aim for coins that are well struck/ esp. for Medieval gold coinage. Sometimes a MS-63 will look better then a poorly struck MS-65. I tend to shy away from problem coins/ ie "smoothed/ tooled/ cleaned/ holed/ scratched/etc." However, a CNG "EF" graded coin in many cases is better then a TPG MS<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> However, I never changed my original collecting goal/ still go after all periods in history/ worldwide/ except for China.[ATTACH=full]1237569[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
