<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 3186596, member: 69760&quot;]So the coin posted above (and below as well) has some obvious wear beyond AU-50, whether it was on the original coin-planchet, or the final counter-struck coin. I&#039;m guessing that it had massive amount of wear before it was counter-struck. </p><p><br /></p><p>Based on what you stated, as soon as it gets counter-struck, <u>the previous wear on the original coin (1875 25C) is completely discounted, and only wear that happens after the counter-strike determines its grade</u>. Is this correct - that the condition of the 1875 25C coin-planchet is irrelevant to the grade? The only thing I&#039;d maybe factor in as considering the condition of the planchet is that if the strike was so weak that parts of the originally struck coin&#039;s surface is unaffected (e.g. if the die was tilted and only struck one-half of the coin, or if the dies were misaligned, etc.).</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ebayimg.com%2Fimages%2Fg%2FYngAAOSw6zNbjq3A%2Fs-l1600.jpg&amp;hash=750c18651d7710f0bf722c47eab7ade6" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
