Here is my 1794 head of 1793, does it have a shot at a straight grade? Thinking of submitting, love it either way. Thanks in advance for your opinions.

Looks like it might be gradeable. Maybe in the Fair to AG range.
Has decent central detail.
Does any of the date show?

Really tough to say, one of those things that the more you look at it, the less you can tell. Believe it's a Sheldon 19b
I believe it would struggle to grade Fr02 without a date. The value difference between Fr02 and P01 quite a difference. I would think that it would grade,and should be, but as a P01. Just an opinion. Still would love it.

Would need to see the edge to be sure a or b.
Nice portrait for a low grade; surfaces look relatively smooth- I would give it a shot.
Any TPG slab will hurt this coin. Anyone who loves early copper wants to see these surfaces raw, without the distortion of plastic or photo.
I think I'd agree at this level of wear. Of course, this is likely true for all grade levels, yet for those who want to participate in the registry, a higher graded example matters.

Would likely straight grade imo.
That is actually quite a nice 1794 head of '93. Nice obverse AND reverse detail, and good surfaces.
Will she grade straight? - not knowledgeable enough in slabbing cfriteria, but from what I have seen, yes.
My personal preference is for non-slabbed copper - I would leave her as she is.
