<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 624564, member: 2972&quot;]In hopes of expanding on a discussion started in another thread (i.e. how TPGs grade weakly struck coins)....</p><p><br /></p><p>Please guess the grade that NGC assigned this coin.&nbsp; If your personal grading standard (EAC, ANA, etc.) differs, please also explain how you grade the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.pbase.com/miker/image/51472347/original.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://www.pbase.com/miker/image/51472350/original.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The pics above are dead-on accurate with the exception that they do not portray the luster accurately -- there is more luster on the coin than appears in the photos (mostly in the hidden areas of the fields next to the devices, and inside the devices).&nbsp; There is both clear high point wear (shows as greyish in the photos) as well as luster wear in the open areas of the fields (shows as darker tan/grey areas).</p><p><br /></p><p>Have fun...Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
