<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1786186, member: 26302"]The one other thing to think about is WHY. The coin you described is not terribly common. Things Doug talked about are very common, scratches on one side, nicks, cleaning, etc. However, coins circulate and as such usually all sides get wear. Having the obverse worn down to VG and the reverse VF is unusual. In that instance I would look very carefully and see if possibly the obverse was struck weakly, or with a worn die. This difference matters in US collecting at least. It can be noted on ancients, but we really do not care why the detail is not there. In US grading though a worn die obverse might be graded as a VF worn die.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
