<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 7837949, member: 19463"]I see that the NGC guarantee does not apply to this coin so we should not require the certificate to spell Constantia correctly. While criticizing the certificate I would ask if the grade F correctly describes the amount of wear on the coin. I would agree that the coin would be fine under old standards when the overall grade would be lowered by the obvious surface problems seen here but I thought NGC only considered wear when assigning the letter grade. Am I wrong? All three faces have intact noses. Maurice even has his distinctive trefoil crown shown. That is one excellent coin even if it is fairly 1/5 for surfaces. Can a coin be EF 4/5 1/5? Maybe that is too liberal. The portrait of Constantia seems especially noteworthy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
