<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 8108367, member: 87200&quot;]Grade is in the eye of the beholder and is certainly not a science in ancients, more like alchemy. For this reason I just go with what appeals to me - strike, reverse condition, good devices, patina, etc. The coins I have purchased slabbed I have freed from their restraints. While not obsessed with touching every coin there are many I do touch and sometimes photograph held between my fingers. Note that with the now popular videos of coins like you see on facebook and elsewhere someone holds them and flips the observe and reverse while taking a video with their phone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
