<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jolumoga, post: 26794997, member: 41780&quot;]Yes, it could be VF30 to VF35*. But that doesn&#039;t seem to clarify whether it straight grades. People will say to ignore the TPGs, but I think many people do seem to want to learn how to find or detect problem-free coins. Call me crazy, but I try to avoid problem coins as much as possible, though I will make exceptions now and then for coins to add to my tubes. I don&#039;t know if a tiny, tiny pit or two has ever been clarified as designating a coin as a problem coin. Now maybe this is not a big deal to some people, but it could be to others. Also, it would help to get clarification on exactly how coins are graded.</p><p><br /></p><p>*Actually, the grade also depends on the strike, not just the detail. I just saw a 1926-S graded XF40 with about as much or little detail as the one I posted up. I&#039;ve also seen much earlier dates with plenty of details graded VF. So I&#039;m guessing there were weak strikes around this period - but I&#039;m willing to be corrected.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
