Which size coins, in general, do you find easiest to grade. If you wish to explain your reasoning below please do.
Sizes range from smallest to largest in their given category. ANY coin with a planchet size within that range would qualify.

Small Size: 13mm through 20.5mm (Gold Dollar through Nickel Size)
Medium: 21.6mm through 24.3mm (Quarter Eagle through Quarter
Large: 27mm through 40mm (Gold Eagles through Early Silver Dollar)

    I think medium...larger coins can be tricky because any nick or blemish is magnified relative to its appropriate impact on the grade...smaller coins are just too hard for me to see.

    I can't think of a coin series easier to grade than Morgan dollars.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    I can tell you I am finding gold dollars very difficult to grade.

    Size isn't a factor with me. Some type coins are easier to grade than others for me. I have a very tough time with the incuse designs and circulated early commemoratives to mention a few.
