<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Larry Moran, post: 970656, member: 4580&quot;]I would really like to see images of your Pigs Meat tokens, PennyLady, since I know you often purchase</p><p>pieces of premium quality, and frankly, I haven&#039;t seen many of these in high grades.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I have seen are many lower grade tokens; I&#039;d guess VF and below.&nbsp; Many of this type</p><p>were worn considerably and often were plagued with problems.</p><p><br /></p><p>Someday I may find a nice UNC; until then, I&#039;ll just keep looking.&nbsp; : )</p><p><br /></p><p>Actually, I just looked at Gary Sriro&#039;s CD, and his scan of an 842b, and my token looks almost identical in all areas.</p><p>Maybe mine is a tad better than my estimate.&nbsp; I like it when I undergrade an item and learn later it is a bit better, these days.&nbsp; : )</p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes my raw token turns out to be similar or superior to slabbed examples grading a good deal higher.</p><p>That doesn&#039;t make my token better, actually, but it may grade higher according to NGC&#039;s standards, which often allow</p><p>a token with considerable rubbing to receive an MS grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t like rubs, but they are almost impossible to avoid in tokens so old.&nbsp; In fact, I&#039;d guess that any token</p><p>with no evidence of rub, anywhere, would have to receive a Gem grade or higher, unless afflicted with other maladies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
