jjm, excellent detail on that coin. russ might be right though about something strange going on. it has a strange texture to it. more opinions will be needed but something tells me Russ is right.
<< <i>ok, well maybe I am wrong,...is this coin "barely a G" ? >> Detail certainly looks better than that, but the coin also looks corroded. Russ, NCNE
Like WTCG said, grading is subjective, and differences of opinion will arise. Like Russ said, those EAC folks can be brutally strict. That being said, I think anyone who'd call the coin you showed a picture of "barely Good" needs his eyes checked.
