<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-monolith-, post: 24867830, member: 150064&quot;]That&#039;s why I completely ignore the grading and rarity statements from dealers. I&#039;m only concerned about condition and rarity to establish a fair purchase price. I collect a lot of mint error coins where some collectors wouldn&#039;t touch them because they see them as being &quot;damaged&quot; and therefore less valuable than a well struck version. However I view it differently in that they are a &quot;unique&quot; rarity. An example is one of my double struck coins of Philip I that I posted earlier in the thread. If it did not contain the double struck error it would easily grade EF (XF) or even MS and a 5/5 strike and 5/5 surface. However who knows how NGC would grade it with the mint error. Regardless, I see the value in the coin because I can assure you that no one else has this coin, in this condition, with this error. So there would be plenty of Roman Imperial Coin collectors willing to pay a premium for the coin. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1595491[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
