Value and Strike Throughs

RKKay

How much does a naked eye strike through on the shield devalue a PCGS PR 65 RD 2c piece? Does it make it worth a 64? Is it insignificant?

I would think a struck-through coin would be attributed and noted on the insert.Therefore such an error
should increase the value ,not decrease the value.IMO.Perhaps PCGS either missed this or is calling your struck-through a scratch?thus the 65?

Thanks. It isn't noted, and I think they probably did consider it a scratch and it did detract from their grade.

I think many would consider a minor strikethrough to be a detraction, while a major strikethrough would be collectible, and therefore considered a plus. For me personally, a minor strikethrough is just neutral; not a detraction, just an interesting feature, sort of like clashed dies.

Got a PCGS PR 65 RD 2c piece you'd like to sell, by any chance? (With or without strikethrough. I'm in the market for red PCGS proof 2-centers.)
