SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 03/03/2012 10:53 am No worse than XF45 and likely AU50. Think about this for a moment. The rule of thumb in grading is, "give the grade of the lowest face." But coins wear evenly on each side - the obverse won't wear faster than the reverse. This coin looks VF on the obverse, and AU on the reverse. It's absurd to me to think it "wore" like that, so the obvious answer if that the obverse die was older than the reverse - such was common among Morgan strikes. Especially with Morgans, I tend to grade by the best face, because that's more reflective of the actual amount of circulation the coin saw. Report this Post to the Staff
