VG10? I guess I expect better for a VG10.

Seller states this is a VG-10. Heck, I don't even know what it is.

its vg as in very good corrosion.

its it a flowing hair cent? er was it a flowing hair cent...

It appears to be a corroded disc!

airplanenut · January 20, 2005 4:01AM

It's really a VF-20, net VG-10 for light corrosion

Outhaul · January 20, 2005 4:04AM

That is the extremely rare and elusive Lunar Cent...

It's a 1793 Chain Cent. It's in a PCI holder.

ROTFL!!!

I think that's a new low for PCI..no wait I can see the TY of Liberty
it has to be a VG.

Prethen · January 20, 2005 4:41AM

Could it have corroded in the holder? I can NOT possibly believe any real grading service (even NTC or ACG) would do something that dumb! My other though is, maybe the coin was switched.

<< <i> I can NOT possibly believe any real grading service (even NTC or ACG) would do something that dumb! >>

Think again.

To play devil's advocate a little, they probably graded the coin on what its technical detail was (beneath the corrosion). And there might be more of that detail visible with the coin in hand. Could be the scan or photo exaggerated the considerable corrosion present. Maybe they graded it VG10, but they almost certainly red-labeled it for "heavy corrosion" or "environmental damage".

It 's a typo. It 's VP10 (Very Poor).

ARCO · January 20, 2005 5:54AM

I think what the seller is trying to say is that "it would grade VG10 if you the corrosion hadn't worn away all the detail and horribly pockmarked the coin". You just have to know how to read between the lines.

how can you all not see its a VG coin. its as plain as day Very Grainy. or Very Groovy. either way not worth my money to buy it

Sphinx357 · January 20, 2005 6:26AM

over $1,000 opening bid for THAT

BillJones · January 20, 2005 6:30AM

I think that it might be a Chain Cent, looking at the one neck line that I can see.

There must be more on the reverse. Usually the reverse of these things will have a chain visible, even on the really doggy specimens. This one is beyond doggy. It's ratty. It grades less than Basal State -1 .

shirohniichan · January 20, 2005 6:33AM

I think it must have been a "Very Good" detector find dug from 10 inches of dirt.

morgannut2 · January 20, 2005 8:08AM

Does look like an early cent, perhaps 1793-4 doesn't it? The reverse should be a liitle nicer to be true "shot" P-1, net B-1!!

VG10? I guess I expect better for a VG10.
