<p>[QUOTE="40_mila_kokkina, post: 1866234, member: 59115"]I personally believe the majority of people who took this poll are correct in their assessment of the Sheldon Scale Grade of my Bay Bridge specimen. I too would have voted for VG-10 (4 votes total & the majority) however this was SEGS opinion: [ATTACH=full]314510[/ATTACH] Two who participated in the poll though believe SEGS was accurate giving this a VF-20. Strangely no one thought this coin was a Fine-15 or VF-25. Coming in tied for second three people each also thought this was a Fine-12 and VG-8 specimen. Basically it's difficult to find very circulated examples of these low mintage commemorative coins so knowing what wear to look for is a matter of talent and effort. It's not like there's a Photograde for commemorative coins since 90%+ of them are either AU or UNC. Considering SEGS gave this a VF-20 I could argue I got a great deal for the money for those of us who are in the market for coins that SEGS encapsulates.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
