I'll leave the grading to others at this stage, but I still keep seeing alluvial flour gold on the table-top. You should bottle it!  The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient.

I'm going to have a go and say XF on detail but dropped to a VF given the multiple large scratches. I haven't graded coins before so will be interested to see what the experienced graders come up with.

The top one doesn't look like a double-bar to me.  Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

That seems crazy. I always thought mintage affected value but not grading with grading being based on physical attributes only. Does that mean that when a bunch of older coins are discovered then the pre-existing gradings for each specimen are redundant and have to be revised? |

However, there is a tendency - and the American TPGs openly affirm this is the case - that rarer coins are graded more generously than commoner coins, even within the same series. It's called "market grading". It doesn't tend to have much effect in terms of actually changing grades, because it's rare for giant hoards of identical coins - hoards large enough to skew the relative rarity within the hoarded series - to be discovered and brought onto the market.

It's called "market grading". Thanks Sap. Yes,with the rarer low mintage Coins it can/may be called Bag/Bin marks and this is taken into account when grading. With high mintage years they don't bother as there are thousands,if not ten of thousands, of better egs out there. With high mintage years if there are marks on the King/Queen's face,for eg,the Coin is downgraded accordingly,how they got there is not important for Dealers/Graders. That's how it was explained to me over the years anyway. |
