<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1095013, member: 26302&quot;]I would agree with Tom Reynold&#039;s grading myself. I am not denigrating the coin at all, I truly believe that it is very attractive and do not believe you overpaid. This is a point I know you know, and most other posters here, but I will say it for others. Grade is not a final determinant of price by any means. I have paid much more for a VF coin than what an XF is worth. Grade is an indicator, but it by no means a limiting factor ESPECIALLY for earlier coins where visual appeal and good clean fields can be hard to find. I am not saying go out and pay AU money for a VF 1916d dime, but when you get to early US, colonial, middle ages, ancient coins, etc, grade become less and less important in the overall value of a coin. By the time you get to ancients, grade may be the third or fourth most important factor. I have hand selected VG coins and chose them over VF examples, paying the same price.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, very nice coin, and no offense meant by my 45 guess. I guess I am too old school grading, and maybe what I saw would be different in hand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
