<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numismat, post: 2863657, member: 15019&quot;]I completely agree with you on the economic and higher supply factors here. Regarding prices due to over-grading, here is an example of what I&#039;m talking about:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://coins.ha.com/itm/australia/world-coins/australia-george-v-penny-1925-m-xf40-pcgs-/a/231645-62139.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515#" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://coins.ha.com/itm/australia/world-coins/australia-george-v-penny-1925-m-xf40-pcgs-/a/231645-62139.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515#" rel="nofollow">https://coins.ha.com/itm/australia/world-coins/australia-george-v-penny-1925-m-xf40-pcgs-/a/231645-62139.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515#</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I think it&#039;s a consensus among Aussie collectors that a Geo V coin with less than 8 fully defined pearls (due to wear, not weak strike) is not XF and that one with 6 pearls is a clear VF. This is what I was trying to say, that based on prices these coins are not selling for the value range of the assigned grade, because the people buying them use stricter standards than the TPGs grading them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
