<p>[QUOTE="Tejas, post: 8135240, member: 84905"]I would have no objections to the EF grading of the Hadrian denarius. I think it is Leu's policy to understate grading and auction estimates. Infact, one of the numismatists at Leu told me that they found that conservative grading and low auction estimates help to entice interest. Collectors feel that they discovered a bargain, they put in a high bid anyway - just to make sure, only to discover that others had the same idea, ending up with a hammer price that is very close or exactly on their bid. Happens to me regularly with Leu auctions <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
