Besides that the coin obviously has a weak strike, would you say that the wear is uneven too? It seems like there are 3 different "levels" if you will that I gather from your description. There is the weakly stuck(left reverse/obverse sections), the well struck/heavily worn(central obverse, lettering on reverse) then the well struck/lightly worn(reverse right leaves, obverse bust/eye detail). If this is truly the case, and some of the weak areas are due to uneven wear, then I will agree that ANACS got it right. I just know as an amateur myself it would be incredibly hard for me to grade a coin that has both uneven wear AND an unevenly weak strike, and be able to distinguish between the two on the same coin. This is quite the complicated coin so it seems...<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />:kewl:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
