How Canadian Blacksmith Tokens are Graded...interesting!

How do you grade a coin intentionally made with little detail? Well, I think technically ANY coin can be strictly graded by surface, but the Blacksmith token collectors have devised a simple method.

Are there any known with luster?

i believe Higley coppers are graded very similarly

Even this grading scale is hard to use with regards to these pieces. When a coin is intentionally manufactured so that it looks heavily worn, you now you're going to have problems.

How can one of these grade 'very good' if the details for it to be 'good' are gone? That doesn't make any sense.
