I got my 1913 soverign back from ANACS today. Just about two weeks since I sent it in. It came back in a slab saying this:
UNC DETAILS NET AU 55
1913 SOV 2602419
GR BRIT SCRATCHED
It came with a letter saying Thanks for my help with the order and everything went well.
Do they slab "problem" coins (Coins that are scratched etc) if they are counterfeit?

<< <i>So what the heck was this thread about?
I was bored so I posted that. It was a stupid thing to do. Now that I tell the truth I'm sure I"ll get plenty of flames. I didn't have the guts to say on that thread that that wasn't the true case.
PS: Does UNC details mean the details of the coin are MS-60 condition? But the scratchs brought it down to an AU-55? Is there any grade higher than AU-55 that is still in AU?

Yes UNC=uncirculated.
The coin would have graded ms60 or higher if not for the scratch. No way to know how many points anacs deducted for the scratch other than at least 5.
For your pinpoint copper spot, there are potential "unharmful" methods to "remove" the spot(s). However, they are usually only temporary, as NCS would tell you.
Also, if you happen to make some good "scratch" some day....money, that is, not on another coin, don't go dipping any nice unc or AU gold which has a very subtle olive or green, or light reddish tint over the surfaces!!

Thanks Mac. It is certified now, so that must add some value to it. How much do you think the scratch would deduct (value wise) of a similiar one in AU 55 condition?

It was a dumb mistake, wybrit. Move on and don't worry about it ...
I have often seen net graded coins sell for more than a problem free coin of the same grade but those are usually really rare coins.
Edit: if the AU55 grade you mentioned is factual.
The net grade of VF sounds more believable to me.

Well it's established that a lie has been told - the question now is - which time

Not really. British sovereigns are basicly bullion coins with value dependant on the metal market. Certified bullion coins that aren't in the stratospheric grade levels are still just bullion coins.
