<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnny54321, post: 624386, member: 13342&quot;]This was along the same lines as my thinking. If the op coin has truly been cleaned/recolored(i personally can&#039;t really tell), then I would agree that VF-20 would be the correct, &quot;market grade&quot;. However, it was my understanding that TPGs generally assign their grades based on wear, and not so much on strike/die state...and for ANACS, they would give a details grade if cleaned/recolored; then potentially netting it depending on the year. I could much more easily see this coin in an XF-details cleaned, net VF-20 slab; or just &quot;XF details&quot; assuming it&#039;s been cleaned.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Going off of leadfoot&#039;s point, the 1922 plain weak reverse has significant weakness pretty much throughout the coin. One of these graded AU-50 would probably only have the sharpness of a typical VF-25 1922-D. However, it still gets the technical grade of AU-50, and then the market decides on how much the coin is worth in light of the detail weakness.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;Obviously the market grade would be lower, but I think the technical grade should be higher, unless GD is correct with his uneven wear theory. Although I don&#039;t really agree with his theory, it&#039;s the only reason I can see ANACS giving it a technical grade of VF-20...unless they otherwise just goofed.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Lots of interesting discussion...keep it coming! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />I should be receiving the coin any day, so I will most certainly take better photos and point out whatever is better/worse on the coin in hand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
