<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 348454, member: 6036&quot;]Ya know, I think that kinda says it all for most of us average collectors. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>With most series, a guy can insist on &quot;problem free&quot; coins - the sort that would easily pass at NGC or PCGS. Morgans, Mercs, Lincs, Buffs, etc etc etc.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But when it comes to early American coppers, I think so-called &quot;problem&quot; coins are seen differently. Light corrosion, granularity, cleaned + retoned, pitted, rim bumps... all that sort of thing is more tolerable (for lack of a better word).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m not saying NGC or PCGS relax their standards here, nor do we. There are millions of Unc white Morgans, but the reality is the vast majority of surviving EAC coins have &quot;problems&quot; beyond &quot;good honest wear&quot;. And we love &#039;em for what they are ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
