<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1404453, member: 26302&quot;]But its not. While the grades may be similar, there is one major discrepancy. US grading assumes you give a pass for weak strikes, worn dies, etc. In ancient grading at least this is not true. If a coin leaves the hammer a F because of a bad hammer blow, its a F or worst forever. US grading assumptions would say that coin is mint state, (poor and offset strike). Its a very major disparity, and one you cannot overlook. I will not speak to medieval coins since I do not know their grading methodology.</p><p><br /></p><p>HUGE difference, and one that leads many NGC ancients to be vastly overgraded.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
