and the waves
sit above the top of the mound

Pennies struck
from 1961 to 1967
can tone and
discolour very easily
due to the
change in metal composition.
Most of our
coins graded AU95, AU85-90
& AU75-85
come from Mint sealed bags.
Over 90% of
these coins we grade at
AU85-90
Very occasionally
a coin can be better than
normal and these
we grade at AU95
Some have
streaky lustre, etc.
and are graded
down to AU75-85
~~~~~~~~~~
MOST people will
not be able to notice the
difference
between the AU95 & AU85-90
Also now that
they are exposed to the air
the AU95 could
easily become AU85-90's ! |
