<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2351773, member: 69760&quot;]PCGS states online that:</p><p><br /></p><blockquote><p><font size="4">A split grade may be assigned when there are significant differences in the obverse grade and reverse grade of the same coin. Split grades are normally denoted with a dual grade in obverse/reverse format. For example, a coin with a split grade of F/VF would have an obverse grading Fine (F) and a reverse grading Very Fine (VF). Typically, coins with a split grade are valued at the level of their <i>lowest</i> grade, whether obverse or reverse.</font></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I would call up NGC or PCGS, but I bet I&#039;d get the same answer I usually get with these questions... that the graders would know but they&#039;re not allowed to connect us to them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, would the TPG&#039;s grade simply be an average of the two sides&#039; grades? A 60/40 split (Obverse / Reverse)? Stick with the lowest grade? </p><p><br /></p><p>How would <i>you</i> grade a coin with one side MS and the other Fine?</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you have a PCGS or NGC slabbed example of one?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m sure ANA mentions it somewhere.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
