[QUOTE="nerosmyfavorite68, post: 8343813, member: 134416"]Yes, I thought the same thing about the reverse of the Philip after I posted it. The HJB tag said "mint state." However, I couldn't come up with any other examples from my photographed coins. There's some that are EF by wear but have various faults. The Philip will have to do for the moment. EF: Something really sharp with virtually no wear. The really tough/nebulous ones would be something with very little wear but lousy preservation. Or, like kirispupis brought up, certain specialty types, like this guy: [ATTACH=full]1479939[/ATTACH] I really couldn't put a grade on it. The coin's half cleaned state obscures some details and the reverse was a mess on day one. However, it's one of the best Sear 805's that I've come across. My grade: really nice for the type and I like it. :joyful::happy:[/QUOTE]
