<p>[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 7457911, member: 110350"]I think it's a great coin and agree that it's around a Fine, although, like many here, I never think about my ancient coins in terms of what grades they are, even with the old-fashioned categories -- just whether or not I like them. I could find you lots of coins, not simply on ebay but on VCoins and MA-Shops, which look similar to yours but which the dealers describe as VF. Or VF+! There are dealers who will never describe an ancient coin as less than VF, and call VF coins AU. Which is one reason I don't pay attention. Even to what NGC says, because I consider it irrelevant even if it's generally accurate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
