psuman08 Pillar of the Community United States 1776 Posts	Posted 03/19/2023 8:33 pm This one graded VF-25. I was disappointed in this grade, I thought it would be 30/35. This is one where I don't feel like the graders know this die pair - the centers are always soft. Westcoin had it until being swayed by the TV. Report this Post to the Staff

I need to learn to stay with my first gut guess/feelings on grading, they are more often right than not. LOL still a nice coin. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.

I mean just look at the sharpness of the higher devices on this coin. no way its a 30 Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 03/20/2023 3:06 pm A TPG rule of thumb is coins under XF do not take strike weakness into account when assigning a numeric grade. I heard that years ago and have seen evidence of it many times. This is another example. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
