<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Andrew McCabe, post: 5271897, member: 90666&quot;]The surface and strike out of 5 ratings by NGC are the best thing ever, and supersede the grade of wear.</p><p><br /></p><p>Recently bought an NGC graded VF,5,5 (ie perfect strikes and surfaces). In past catalogues, back to the 1930s, my coin had been graded EF / Vorzuglich but partly in response to its great strike and surfaces. To me it doesnt matter what the absolute grade is if strike and surfaces are great, its good for my collection. VF? EF? Don&#039;t care. This coin was owned by Perry Webb, the Carausius expert who wrote RICV and who sold it via Hess in 1932</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1220408[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Incidentally the OP Papillon auction coin is also graded VF. So to two different eyes, the coin above and below are exactly the same VF grade. Guess they ARE both VF.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1220410[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
