<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 26354667, member: 101855&quot;]I am generally not a fan of EAC grading because it is useless for commercial purposes. You can dump on the term commercial, but when it comes time to sell, generally collectors want a good or at least a fair price. If something is EAC graded and you use any of the current price guidelines to price it, you will get less than it’s worth over 90% of the time. In other words, if you sell a coin that most people would grade EF for VF money, you will be short changed. I would add that EAC dealers don’t price their offerings that way. they charge all the money. </p><p><br /></p><p>The one great thing about EAC grading is for problem pieces of which there are many in early copper. Commercial grading kind of gives them the shaft on a slab label. EAC explains the problem in some detail and provides a net grade, which is useful for pricing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once more EAC grading can be “brutal.” Some problems they point out don’t amount to much in my opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
