Opening Rolls

If I was grading and the denticles were poorly struck then eye appeal would be 0% and strike would max out at 9.7%.
Good discussion, looking forward to Steves grades.

yes grading becomes very much an art form and different schools of numismatics do it differently as well

the aussie halfpenny esp. the KGV were very often softly poorly struck up
we bought a 1923 halfpenny that the dealer said is 'strictly' EF but looks VF due to strike issues
we paid VF but he said PCGS should grade it at EF
i trust that dealer for his skill


it awaits the test ......
