This coin, that coin, some other coin - different rules apply when it comes to grading.

But yet even with the undeniable corrosion they still get straight grades, including MS straight grades ! How in the world can a coin that&#039;s corroded be straight graded, let alone MS ? Do you think they&#039;d ever straight grade a Lincoln that was corroded ? Not this day or any day ! </p><p><br /></p><p>Or compare Bust Dimes and Seated Dimes to Mercs - think they grade them the same way ? They don&#039;t, not even close !
