DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9866 Posts	Posted 09/26/2013 11:03 am By the lack of wear on the reverse VF30 "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
SHAFTA9a Bedrock of the Community Canada 10743 Posts	Posted 09/26/2013 11:30 am Not a bad key date half dollar.. With the hair detail almost gone I would agree with DBM VF-30 Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 09/26/2013 11:37 am The reverses of these always stand up better to wear than the obverses. I think that it has something to do with the fact that the reverse had lots of small high points and the obverse had a few much larger high points. The George V1 Australian silver florins exhibit with a Coat of Arms design exhibit much the same wear characteristics. This can result in a split grade, with the reverse grading higher than the obverse. Sheldon VF20, where the lowest grade side only decides the grade of the coin F / VF in the British system. With a coin such as this, I prefer an honest split grade. Report this Post to the Staff

jello_g Valued Member Canada 108 Posts	Posted 09/26/2013 12:01 pm I like the idea of grading both sides but for a single grade I'd go with the side with more wear. In this coin, the obverse looks F-15. Report this Post to the Staff
