DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 07/21/2017 07:15 am 100 point scale isn't as popular over here, we don't tend to use TPG and jist use standard terms (generally applied harshly) but I have pennies worse than that, look how clear the date is!

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 07/21/2017 08:48 am I prefer to grade Australian coins in the harsh British way, and American coins in the 70 point Sheldon scale. This coin too poor to bother with a grade; that would be consistent with harsh British grading. Unless it was an extremely rare coin, most British collectors would not be bothered too much. If it was an early American copper, I would probably grade it one or two points, but I have never had to consider to seriously grade any coin in this condition. I prefer to grade ancient coins by myself, because there are lots of other factors that contribute to the grading. Fine by me, because most TPGraders do not bother with ancient coins anyway. At least, I think I can understand why. Report this Post to the Staff
