  Whether you think you can or, think you can't, you're right.

  An example of a piece that should have been rejected for grading.

  All glory is fleeting.

  I am not surprised there were more opinions. I am not familiar with this token or the quality of the planchets. I have no point of reference for this one. And the real question becomes what the baseline looks like for a token that likely had production challenges and just may not exist at various grade levels. Seems there could be a challenge to develop a reasonable yardstick and set expectations.

  Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

  Yes. Many Colonials and territorials are other examples where the usual standards may not apply. Try grading a Vermont Baby Head without specific experience.
