<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1435905, member: 26302&quot;]You very well could be right. My two major reasons I gave it a grade of 63 were:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. I understand these coins are heavy, but that is not an excuse in the grade. I do not say a heavier coin is allowed more, heavier marks. You are right this will lead to more dimes being higher grade than large coins, but that should show up in prices and pop reports, not in modifying grading standards.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. The marks on the obverse are in the prime focal areas, the absolute worst place to me visually. If I were only grading the obverse, I would have given it a 62, the reverse is nice so I actually bumped it to 63 for the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>I very well could be wrong, but that is how I graded it, and would grade any US coin similarly. If this coin were an ancient, it would grade XF.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
