ozjohn Posted March 19, 2022 Posted March 19, 2022 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154897378303?hash=item24 shows a 1942 florin graded at MS 64. The reverse of the coin shows considerable wear or poor strike to the center rose. At best this coin should be marked at a poor strike but IMO should not be grades as MS 64. It has to be said the obverse is good but the whole coin should be appraised not just one side. If I have a coin that has a perfect obverse but the reverse has been damaged then it should be graded as such. Quote

I wouldn't and you wouldn't , but that doesn't make them wrong. It is their choice to waste their own money. Quote
ozjohn Posted March 19, 2022 Author Posted March 19, 2022 I think the condition of the coin and the accuracy of the grading is the issue not the slabbing of a coin of little value. Quote
copper123 Posted March 19, 2022 Posted March 19, 2022 Not sure if these clowns care about any of these issues except the money they recieve for their Service Quote
copper123 Posted March 19, 2022 Posted March 19, 2022 I must admit the coin is a-unc but it does suffer from a few bag marks on the obverse cheek this alone would make it worth about a tenner ..... Quote

Yes, the King's cheek is afflicted by multiple tiny abrasions - looks like no shave stubble. As you say, worth about a tenner, and once again we see that absurd premium placed on quite ordinary coins by virtue of their being slabbed. Quote

The reverse of the coin is badly minted, worn or damaged in some way and IMO shouldn't receive a MS 64 grade. Quote
