<p>[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 4505851, member: 44316"]The ear is barely separated from the laurel wreath and its leaves are not all distinct. How can that be EF (XF)? It is bold, but I see nothing that looks "sharp" or "fresh." Grades are more useful for modern coins and I don't think our deciding on how to name the grade makes any difference to the coin; it is what it is. However, if one insists on picking a grade on the usual sale (which is probably a bad idea), it seems much more worn than EF. That does not stop it from being a desirable coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
