<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gary R. Wilson, post: 4145609, member: 89935&quot;]Grading is so subjective. Here are two coins that I would grade extra fine for details but have other issues.

Talk about subjective grading.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1071487[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Antoninus Pius (Augustus)</p><p>Coin: Brass Sestertius</p><p>ANTONINVS AVG PIVS P P TR P - Laureate head right</p><p>COS IIII - Antoninus Pius standing left, wearing radiate nimbus and military attire, holding olive branch and spear.</p><p>Exergue:&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Mint: Rome (145-161 AD)</p><p>Wt./Size/Axis: 22.49g / 30mm / 360</p><p>References:&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p>RIC 765</p><p>Banti 116</p><p>Cohen 318</p><p>Provenances:&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p>Numismatic Sale #73 Agora Auctions Numismatic Sale #73</p><p>Acquisition/Sale:&nbsp; &nbsp; Numismatic Sale #73 Agora Auctions Numismatic Sale #73 $0.00 03/18</p><p>Notes:&nbsp; &nbsp; Jun 13, 18 - The Gary R.
