Nic Pillar of the Community Philippines 1156 Posts	Posted 11/05/2012 10:36 pm requesting some opinions here, thanks in advance! I have a coin with definite Obv as VF and a definite rev as F. Which price should it be valuated on? in the middle price between F & VF, or the lowest price as an F or maybe a little less than a VF? Report this Post to the Staff

D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 11/05/2012 11:26 pm I think with U.S standards when the obverse grades higher than the reverse, the grade is often the average of the two grades. I would go with the middle price. Internationally, I don't know if the practice is the same or different. Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9864 Posts	Posted 11/06/2012 10:17 pm For Canadian coins,grading is heavily weighted in favor of the obverse,and far too many Canadian collectors will pay solely for the obverse and ignore the reverse. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
