[QUOTE="Burton Strauss III, post: 2453475, member: 59677"]37xxxx is ANACS from the early Amos Press ownership days. Grading was still pretty accurate. With 51Os, there are a lot of poor strikes out there that masquerade as low grade. You need to see the reverse. On a weak strike the 6 orbs and 2 bars within the C will be weak or missing, sometimes even part of the diamond itself. I see definite wear on two of the five points of the shield outline into the star, to me that's EF40. Now there are two more points that I can't see well enough to be sure of - so it could be as low as VF30...[/QUOTE]
