<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ddddd, post: 8142367, member: 22377&quot;][USER=116145]@MIGuy[/USER] I&#039;m no expert (as I mentioned already <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) but my first impression would have been that your coin looks to have some damage. Then again, that would just be an educated guess and I agree with you that other examples (including that Anacs one you linked), are far from perfect. ICG might also have been conservative when judging your coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not sure how many graders any of the four top companies have that know the intricacies of hammered coinage. They all might be using similar standards to coins of later years and that leads to grades that don&#039;t fit. I would think NGC and PCGS should have more people that know these (just based on them being larger and having more graders overall) but you never know (ICG or Anacs could have one person that is the specialist for these).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
