<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1605563, member: 112&quot;]There are differences but the system doesn&#039;t change. Example, on smaller coins a contact mark of a given size can impact the grade more than the same size mark would on a larger coin. Same thing for the number of marks on a larger coin vs a smaller coin. The location of marks also impacts the grade, and that location varies from coin to coin. But regardless of size or coin, contact marks in prime focal areas always count more than marks outside of prime focal areas.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are other differences as well, but in general the grading system is the same for all coins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Easy, that&#039;s because a coin&#039;s grade is determined by it&#039;s worst side, not an average. And a coin has 3 sides, not 2. Example, the obv and the rev both may be virtually flawless, but if there is a bad gouge on the edge the coin goes into a details holder.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
