<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3607603, member: 19463&quot;]The answer is simple.&nbsp; There are plenty of people who will believe the coin is XF because it has no wear.&nbsp; Coins graded XF sell better than coins graded VG.&nbsp; I would rather have a worn coin with good surfaces but the people who frequent this seller don&#039;t agree with me and have no idea what a proper XF coin should look like. </p><p><br /></p><p>IMO, you could remove this coin from the holder and put it in our pocket with a bunch of other coins until it wore down a bit.&nbsp; I suspect that it would retain porosity in the recesses until it was worn to Fine so I would assign desirability of this coin more like a proper VG. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t value this coin as high as Ken&#039;s &quot;real ugly&quot; level.&nbsp; What is worse than that? Test cut?&nbsp; Barbarous? Fourree?</p><p>Not in my opinion.&nbsp; I prefer any of the below.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]965908[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]965909[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]965910[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
