<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collector1966, post: 562184, member: 17919&quot;]I think you should bear in mind that in 1794, the Mint was in its infancy, and its technology was very rudimentary by today&#039;s standards. Dies were made by hand, coins were struck with a hand press, and the machinery and dies broke down a lot. A newly struck coin could look like it had already been circulated. It&#039;s difficult to apply the same grading standards to those coins as it is to, say, the Seated Liberty series which was minted with much more consistent quality.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
