This is a SEGS graded coin I submitted recently. What grade do you think it returned?

    Ya know, some of the worn ones go for more money than the more pleasing types. Crazy hobby we've subscribed to......

    That's all very true. I know this. Population reports matter.

    You did not ask what grade we thought it was. You asked what we thought segs gave it. VF 20 was my response to the specific question you asked.

    Well you must be rather knowledgeable of the kind of grading SEGS does. The fact you guessed it right is really something.

    Another thought I had regarding the Bay Bridge Half I posted for this thread: Do you think this specimen exhibits too much rim damage to be given a non-details grade based on the photographs? My personal opinion is this might be one of those borderline pieces that could go either way. I notice ICG (especially) and ANACS are very strict on how much rim damage they will allow for a coin to grade non-details.
