Will PCGS holder porus copper?

PutTogether

Thinking of the 1808-1814 large cents. Its like they are almost all porus. Does porosity earn a body bag? And if so, what does ANACS do about it?

I know ANACS will holder it and give it a net grade with details. Someone else will have to answer about PCGS. I've never tried but my hunch is that you'll get a bodybag.

depends

i have seen many MANY 1808-1814 circ. large cents pcgs/ngc that where in various states of moderate patches of micro porosity to totally black medium porous coins

It probably depends on the sharpness grade and the amount of porousity. All I know is I have seen Classic heads in pcgs slabs and I think I could probably count the number of Classics with no porosity that I have seen on my fingers. As a rule Classics ALWAYS come with some porousity.

Yep! They'll bag it!

Classics ALWAYS come with some porousity. not sure about that!:

1907,

that coin looks porous to me.

I don't think I've ever seen a Classic without some porosity.

If someone has a picture, please post.
