<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 3185628, member: 69760&quot;]That&#039;s interesting. So, let&#039;s say hypothetically that all low grade, late die state 1950 Wheat cents were all melted, and only high grade, early die state, well struck, (enter high qualitative property here), etc. coins remain. Then, those 1950 Wheat cents would be given a much more stringent grading criteria?</p><p><br /></p><p>So it seems like the other grading factor is the quality of the die and process, sort of like how early die states may produce PL strikes, so we give them PL designations (or else without the PL designation existing, then they&#039;d be given relatively higher grades to the non-PL strikes from the same die).</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess then the big test for me would be to see if a poor quality die can produce a mint state coin that <i>looks</i> like it&#039;s say an AU-50, when in fact the same striking process from a high quality die at the same Mint and machine just seconds later will produce an MS-70 coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
