<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1011942, member: 112&quot;]They were. But over the years at least 2 of them have been upgraded, 1 at least 3 times and another at least twice. Both of these coins started out being graded as PF40 or PF45 - thus the term XF. XF is also used to describe Proof grades as well as business strikes. One I believe was upgraded to PF58 and the other either PF62 or PF63.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think what Mike was referring to with his comments was the fact of the coins being upgraded so drastically. But I&#039;ll let him answer to be sure.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course what I find intersting about the whole ordeal is how the TPGs went about explaining the reason for their upgrades. If memory serves it was because some of the coin underwent artificial wear shortly after they were made so they could fool collectors into thinking they were genuine 1804 dollars. Of course no such thing really exist. But that&#039;s another story.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
