<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numan, post: 480106, member: 13259&quot;]Thanks for the insight.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So one could ask, then, what good is a &quot;standard&quot;.&nbsp; If it really is a standard, albeit, imperfect, then with the 22 no D, since there are only &quot;4 die pairs&quot; and &quot;all have the same detail or lack thereof&quot;, one would simply grade the coins on the standard, and since none of them would grade high due to the weak strike on the obverse, they would receive their grade based on the same standard that other coins were graded on.&nbsp; HOWEVER, that would/should have NO impact on the price of the coin.&nbsp; If all 22No Ds were rated AG, G, VG, for example, based on the grading standard, but if the coins, even in that grade, were rare, the basics of supply and demand would drive the market price.&nbsp; So a 22D, VG would sell for significantly more than a VF15 or Au55 of some other, less rare coin (as is the case).&nbsp; This is what is confusing to me regarding grading standards and the TPGs.</p><p>John[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
