<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 3192579, member: 8959&quot;]This one may be difficult to grade if you are not familiar with how die wear (die state) affects the quality of strike. </p><p>For example, when this coin was struck both obverse and reverse dies had seen extensive wear. This naturally affected the quality of strike, making any coins produced from the worn dies look flat and/or show other particularities, like for example &#039;flow&#039; lines &#039;pulling&#039; the peripheral devices (stars, legends, etc) into the rims and making it appear as though they merge with the rim.</p><p>So, one needs to take such issues into account when evaluating the condition of early coppers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
