The cert number didn't bring up any results, the slab just looks off to me, the coin does look like it could be a genuine large cent but I think the slab is fake... What do you guys think?
Answered: Appears to be genuine and all good.

cert pulls up ok

i couldn't get it to scan but i think it is the images or the bar being partially below the plastic.
i wouldn't report just yet. i see nothing glaring but lets see what others say.
I've seen that coin before.
It is fine and the slab is genuine.
98 refers to a damaged coin. I believe it was mostly identified by the edge.

Thanks Lance, I must have put in a wrong number somewhere... maybe it's not a fake slab then....

.
how scarce is it do you think, to see a basal state in a holder?
If you can edit the thread title, I recommend doing so. And ditto for your first post.

Depends on the type. I've seen 1793 Large Cents with just a hint of a chain. Smooth surfaces otherwise. These all grade as PO1 yet are truly "basal state" as you referenced.
I'd love to find a Basal State Ike dollar!

Agree; not unusual to see early copper this low, probably very unusual for anything after 1950, other than a few pocket pieces.
