    he probably figures if he writes enough grades on the 2X2, he's bound to hit the right one

    At least he didn't label it a "penny."

    It's just another "opinion", isn't it? >:)

    Caveat emptor (no matter who did the grading)

    Ahh, the "sawed off shotgun" grading system. He missed PL, by the way.

    Based on my experience, the title of your thread should be "Most people have real problems with grading..."

    I believe he got it right.

    The cardboard holder = MS
    The staples are AU [although I see PMD on them]
    and the quality of the Black ink is VF/XF
    the #4 is the total number of grades assigned

    PS I think he got the date right also :)

    I wonder if they combined the values of all the grades on the 2x2 holder to come up with a price.

    Whaddya mean. Its an exact match four the one in my gradeing guide for that grade level.

    (Found my grade guide in a parking lot - along with a bunch of dubble dies and rare errorrs.) :)

    Hope they squeezed the staples with a pair of pliers to avoid damaging
    any nearby "treasures".

    The MS is incorrect and misused because the coin obviously looks polished, another thing he or she (likely a YN) will learn someday. But the grade notation is likely; obverse is VF to EF /slash and the reverse is AU. The #4 is likely a notation for the number of coins graded for a date.

    Maybe CAC could come up with a "Brown Bean" for this.

    Not really much different than a GTG thread posted here.
