<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4500176, member: 19463"]It certainly is a great coin but not FDC. There was a time that FDC meant unimprovable but now some people can accept loss of legend due to centering as on this coin in the belief that wear is the only evil. There was also a time that Choice EF was the highest grade we ever saw for ancients but NGC introduced AU and MS to speak to their target market of collectors who came over from modern. CNG graded this coin correctly IMO. Perhaps they realize that a dealer is better received by buyers if they are not tagged as overgraders.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
