    Finding the light wear on gold can be hard. I remember in the grading class having difficulty spotting it.

    Well I never went to any classes, but I've paid my tuition along the way just the same. No question about it, at least for me, grading gold coins in that high AU to low MS category is the toughest. According to PCGS, I've managed to be wrong on both sides of the equation a few times, but at first mine were alot like yours. image
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."
    John Marnard Keynes, The Economic Consequences of the Peace, 1920, page 235ff
  • yes,it can be hard,when its real lite wear.
