Thoughts on Re-Submitting

Hello everyone!
I am VERY tempted to purchase this coin, and wonder what the chances of having the coin re-submitted and graded would be? This coin was not graded by PCGS, due to "Environmental Damage", but I don't really see what I would term "damage", but rather the chemical reaction often seen in the "woody" Lincoln cent, albeit , maybe more pronounced. I am conflicted in paying hundreds for a coin with issues, even though I actually kinda like the appearance.
Thoughts on even a chance having PCGS reverse its decision not to grade?
Thank you in advance,
Dave

I would not resubmit base on the the advise of our Host of "Environmental Damage" ...... they have many means to determine such condition. Save the the time and money contesting their finding.
Look for already slabbed one with the grade you are looking for especially and since you are willing to spend the dough
Looks to me like the environmental damage is on the reverse. I would save my money and get one that straight graded already. This one is a waste of time to try and resubmit, you will get the same result on all subsequent submissions.
The reverse is the problem, its always possible that if submitted enough times it could get straight graded but no telling how many times that might take; if ever. I also suggest continuing your search and finding one without issues.

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
The spots on the reverse by the right scarf of wheat are environmental damage, and the obverse may have been cleaned to remove more damage.
All coins like this have a value, but I would not get involved with this coin thinking that you are going to cross to a PCGS holder with out the problem noted. I would keep looking.
I will tell you that I am not a fan of woodgrain toning when it interferes with the esthetics of the design. Some other collectors like it.
I think that this coin’s issues are a combination of woodgrain toning and environmental damage.
You must be VERY tempted because you are looking for a deal. Pass. Buy a straight graded example with better eye appeal. Get an example you will not regret. PCGS has graded over 1,500 in Brown MS, thousands more in AU.
that black stuff is bad news. If you love the coin, buy it. But don't ever expect it to get into a PCGS or NGC holder looking like that.
Pass, pass, pass!
Ugly! Avoid it!
This is a common coin commonly available without issue. You are likely to throw good money after bad with this piece since it appears that all of us are seeing what you are not (re; the issues on the reverse). I would suggest buying a quality piece and forgetting about it if the issue is what you want. However, if you are attempting to score a flip then just keep looking.
