>>>Here is why it won't work; Coins have a reflective surface which depening upon how "deep" the mirror image is on a coin .. or the amount of light the surface of the coin reflects ... influences the graders as to what number to assign a coin. Chips don't reflect light, nor do they exhibit "Mint State Lustre" that coins do. Chips simply don't shine like coins do because they are not made of silver or gold or nickel or copper or any combination or the forgoing.>>>

If the current Caesar's "POPULAR" $10 Silver Strike which I have pictured here is "MINT" how would it be graded? I would think it would be returned as ungradeable since some application was applied after striking. However, I am not sure what process was used to get the "pewter" look, as I am guessing a process was applied after striking.

In knowing that this TOKEN is struck in the same manner as a coin, I wonder if the grading/slabbing company will grade this type of coin/token with the exact same "industry standards" used on any other coin they grade?
