<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 870367, member: 2972&quot;]p.p.s. one of the things I find truly challenging with these early silver pieces is all the net/market grading that goes on with them.&nbsp; Coins that have the appearances of much higher grades get knocked down for &quot;problems&quot; that would normally cause a bodybag.&nbsp; IMO, that&#039;s the phenomenon that led to the coins GDJMSP posted being such different grade apparently yet all graded the same -- and the same thing that I suspect caused a similar phenomenon in the two latest coins posted -- and not so much any sliding grading scale or huge inconsistency.&nbsp; Having had the opportunity to speak to a few graders and long-time collectors, this view has been reinforced over the past few years as my type set moves into these early coins (which I find, frankly, quite intimidating for this very reason).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
