I remember in one of Frank S. Robinson's auctions, he described one lot of Roman bronze coins as "vomitous putrescent condition." I really hope the buyer didn't complain about overgrading on that lot... -Robert A. DeRose, Jr. |

Nope, not really below poor, just a poor old beat up pocket piece, once carried by someone who was once alive and kicking and may still be and wondering where his/her pocket piece went. But, I do believe I wrote it up pretty honestly.... Cliff |

For a grading example of 'below poor' on this type of coin, see these: http://www.coinpeople.com/images/otherpic/worn501.jpg http://www.coinpeople.com/images/otherpic/worn502.jpg Not for sale (I really like the thing). |
