<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fiddlehead, post: 1859005, member: 31286&quot;]The coin is clearly deserving of a grade higher than XF45, which is why I bought it.&nbsp; It has a lot of luster and very little, if any wear - might have been dipped at some point, I&#039;m not sure - it is pretty shiny.&nbsp; I&#039;m not an expert, but I do see a lot of CC and other gold coins.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know of any reason why we would have to assume that the lower grade is the most valid.&nbsp; I figured it would grade AU, but of course I was very pleased with a 58. I was more concerned that it would get a details grade for cleaning. It&#039;s a classic case of buy the coin not the plastic - just a bit more extreme than usual I suppose.&nbsp; Somebody must have been having a bad day at ICG.</p><p><br /></p><p>Doug[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
