Should this ANACS slabbed Large Cent by in a problem/net holder (hint: it's not)?

    That may actually be in a problem/net graded holder.

    It's not in a problem/details graded holder.

    That could be it. Thanks.

    Well, it is graded POOR. I think they nailed it.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    I think nailing it would have been “Poor details, corroded”.

    I guess they examined the rev with an overlay and saw the barest of design detail? It's kinda nice looking no matter what. Peace Roy

    I certainly agree it is 'Poor'...and, IMO, probably a tad worse than that....However, being what it is, I would keep it, and treasure it, for the history. Cheers, RickO

    The obverse actually appears to have G4 details. The reverse details appear similar to my Liberty Cap cent which has no corrosion and is in a PCGS G4 holder. That’s some pretty major net grading IMO.

    I also have a PCGS G4 Fugio that has significantly better details but very rough surfaces. I’m wondering if there is a trend toward net grading of early copper by TPG’s, or if this is something they have always been doing. Early copper is tough to grade using traditional criteria, hence the EAC grading that specialists in that area tend to use.

    It would be great if our hosts or another TPG started an EAC grading option for copper. It would require specialized graders, however, and maybe there wouldn’t be enough volume? Also I know a lot of those folks prefer their coins raw.

    I think nailing it would look like this ;)

    Volumes could be written on the inconsistent grading (straight vs details) of early copper. One of these days I'll get around to posting some of my more interesting examples...

    @Aotearoa I would be quite interested to see your examples!
