[QUOTE="900fine, post: 916712, member: 6036"]Hmmm... that's an interesting question. I've kinda rolled that around in my head*, and it's given me a new insight into EAC grading. EAC methodology is most useful when dealing with circulated coins, particularly those with "problems" of greater or lesser degree. It's easy to see why; the vast majority of coins running around EAC circles are circulated, and almost all have some sort of bump. I don't think the EAC method differs from conventional methods very much when dealing with mint state coins or low-problem coins. It's telling that Copper Quotes by Robinson only goes up to AU55 ! ** I'm eager to hear the opinions of other copperheads on this. It's an interesting topic. [SIZE=1]* Lots of stuff rolls around in my head. NOT a pretty sight ! :rolleyes: ** for the most part; there are exceptions[/SIZE][/QUOTE]
