<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fiddlehead, post: 2140845, member: 31286&quot;]A question:&nbsp; I don&#039;t know much about old silver (or new for that matter) but I know a little about no motto gold, and especially type one double eagles.&nbsp; Many of the early type one $20&#039;s had very poor strikes, and many had planchet flaws.&nbsp; If there was, lets say, an absolutely just as it came from the mint 1850-O and it was a type 3 variety which has a poor strike on both sides, but no planchet flaws - what would the highest possible grade?&nbsp; I can imagine it might be worth a touch less than another hypothetical coin of the same year and mint that was a variety 3 which has much better strikes on both sides and is less common (if such a thing could exist in this hypothetical world), but if both were as perfect as they could possibly be, would they grade the same, or not?&nbsp; In other years, say for example 1853 - there is only one variety from the New Orleans mint - and it&#039;s strike is so-so.&nbsp; What would be the highest possible grade a perfect coin with the usual so-so quality strike be?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
