Survival rate, number of examples existing in said condition, overall mintage of the key relative to the series, etc are all factors. This isn't a "one answer fits all" situation. SO WHAT if my 1893s Morgan gets an XF 45 grade, instead of an XF 40 that it probably should have gotten. The situation is still very much the same, and the market responds accordingly--nobody is taking about gross overstatement of grades.</p><p><br /></p><p>Likewise, TPGs are tough on ultra-common dates, as there are so many of them.
