<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NewStyleKing, post: 7419861, member: 106483&quot;]How does this grading nonsense work and who falls for it. This perfectly reasonable NewStyle from a perfectly respectable company is on eBay and the grading looks mysterious-at least to me. This coin about 40 years ago would be good fine but now is VF with 5/5 perfect strike and 4/5 excellent surfaces. I mean the dies were quite obviously worn and the coin has a lot of honest wear . Maybe the slave didn&#039;t hesitate too much as he wacked it but so what when the rest is imperfect? The surface is not bad but obviously not that good either. It is not a particularly artistic work neither, the owl is not too convincing and the Twins are perfunctory at the most. You cannot even read the amphora month-it&#039;s too worn either on the die or due to circulation-how can you tell?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/AgQAAOSwzUJgd5Ix/s-l1600.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/JP0AAOSwbrRgd5Iz/s-l1600.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/yHgAAOSwOMRgd5I0/s-l1600.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
