[QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 4611325, member: 78244"]This is exactly not how modern coins are graded. It is the opposite for modern coins. For the early US coin types, where varieties are extensively studied, specialists have a fascination with the “why” a particular issue was weakly struck. Why the pompous attitude?
