Message:: [QUOTE="medoraman, post: 2145971, member: 26302"]Sorry, but I am not buying the "for type" argument. I came into ancients because they did away with all of the "weak strike", "worn dies" and other BS people made up to excuse a bad coin. That coin is not what any ancient collector thinks of as a VF. I don't care if 90% of coins of a series grade no better than vg, then that is their grade, vg, not "VF for type". Just my opinion. Silverbullion, the coin you posted as ChXF is more like a VF ancient coin. That is what I would grade that coin, VF. NGC grading is simply out of touch with how ancient collectors grade. They dramatically overstate the grade compared to us. That VF coin is very nice for the type, and could see that one going for $75-90. Its a nice example. However, its still a prutah, not a lepton, (widow's mite).[/QUOTE]
