<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gam3rBlake, post: 7926215, member: 115909&quot;]Well the reason I said that is because I’m trying to learn how NGC comes up with these numbers.</p><p><br /></p><p>If it had been given a 3 I would’ve understood since I’ve seen other coins with a 3 that (to me) looked about equal.</p><p><br /></p><p>But the coins I’ve seen with a surface grade of 2 have really been beat up badly with like water damage and corrosion and whatnot but this one doesn’t look as bad as those.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know it has several scratches but I didn’t think they were too bad and I figured NGC agreed they weren’t too bad when they chose not to put the “scratches” designation under the surface/strike grades.</p><p><br /></p><p>It’s all just curiosity so I can understand why it got a 2.</p><p><br /></p><p>However Barry Murphy did make a good point about higher graded coins being held to a higher standard and that if it was F/VF it might have gotten a 3 so I think that’s what confused me. I’ve been considering strike &amp; surface grades to be graded the same regardless of the overall grade and I was wrong about that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
