<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The_Cave_Troll, post: 160484, member: 1674&quot;]unfortunately the two series that you have mentioned are plagued with issues where the quality of the strike range from needle sharp to absolutely abysmal.&nbsp; This makes it very difficult to compare different coins (especially in the grades above VF, since a poor strike can be misinterpreted as wear and cause a faulty grade to be assigned.&nbsp; Here is a good example:</p><p><img src="http://images.heritagecoin.com/images/HNAI/300/23104/23104001690o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://images.heritagecoin.com/images/HNAI/300/415/415001507o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://images.heritagecoin.com/images/HNAI/300/65074/65074001748o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>All three of those coins have the same numerical grade, but their strikes are very different!</p><p><br /></p><p>An added problem for Walkers is that some of the grading points changed in 1921, so pre-21 coins are graded differently than the post-21 coins are graded.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Basically, what i&#039;m saying is that while that method (buying slabs to use as a comarison) might work for statehood quarters, it isn&#039;t the best way to learn a more complicated series like Walkers or Morgans.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
