<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 636641, member: 13650&quot;]I got a low end, well circulated coin today and based on it&#039;s condition, I had trouble deciding what an appropriate grade would be for it.&nbsp; So I have a couple questions as a result of this.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; This would seem to mainly affect circulated coins more than MS.&nbsp;&nbsp; We know most coins have typical wear patterns.&nbsp; But each individual is subjected to different types of wear for varying lengths of time.&nbsp;&nbsp; And for some reason, sometimes certain details are left (maybe because of a great strike?) and you have one side that would pass as VG and the other side is G.&nbsp;&nbsp; Then what happens if you have VG details on one side, G details on the other, but say a rim is totally worn away on part of the G side possibly dropping it to AG as well?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; How do you guys grade a coin like this?&nbsp; Is it a weighted average?&nbsp;&nbsp; Do you go by the most/worst wear dictates the highest possible grade?&nbsp;&nbsp; The best portion makes it the highest possible grade?&nbsp; Or would you say it&#039;s in between?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; What about the TPG&#039;s?&nbsp; Which way will they go?&nbsp; Say one side is F and the other has EF details?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
