<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2227960, member: 19463&quot;]How many of us actually have seen a coin for which this is not true?&nbsp; Even those beautiful Boscoreales aureii get &#039;details&#039; for being located in the wrong place at the wrong time.&nbsp; Ancient coins could be graded using a &#039;footnotes&#039; scale.&nbsp; The more footnotes you have to add to describe a coin accurately and fairly beyond the simple VF or EF, the worse the coin does on the &#039;footnotes&#039; scale.&nbsp; Nice ancient coins require a sentence to describe the grade - not two letters.&nbsp; MOST ancients need a paragraph.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
