<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 7513961, member: 4920&quot;]I wouldn&#039;t take their grades on these that seriously. Grade them the way you do every other coin. Be familiar with the high areas that first incur wear. Look over enough to get the lay of what to expect in terms of typical luster, strike, contact marks, the works. Being a bit of an oddball metallurgically these do seem to hold up better than most coins, so just know that when you&#039;re comparing them. I&#039;m not trying to give any synopsis, I&#039;m just saying the routine is no different when that relates to grading these. They&#039;ve just seen more so they can compare the relative strengths and weaknesses better. But again, it&#039;s their slab, their price guide, and they&#039;re grading for their market. Just like we say, grade the coin, buy the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
