<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numan, post: 480013, member: 13259&quot;]Saw this coin in an upcoming Heritage Auction.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=28124&amp;Lot_No=24020" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=28124&amp;Lot_No=24020" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=28124&amp;Lot_No=24020</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Given the recent thread in this forum on the weighting of grading elements and whether one or more great elements can outweigh a negative (in regard to the MS67 Peace Dollar), I wanted to get the forum&#039;s view on this coin.&nbsp; Granted it is at the other end of the grading spectrum.&nbsp; Key date.&nbsp; Certified F15, which means that the obverse should be well formed with details in the hair, or according to the grading standards, &quot;moderate to heavy wear.&nbsp; Entire design is clear and bold.&quot;&nbsp; Just struggling with the obverse on this coin.&nbsp; Seems that the grade was given based on the reverse, but I have always thought that the obverse is more important for the grade.&nbsp; Just wanting to learn from you guys with this as an example.&nbsp; I would have graded the obverse AG-3 or at best G4.&nbsp; Reverse may grade F-12, 15, but total coin would be reduced to VG 8??&nbsp; Your opinions?</p><p>John[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
