    Neat. It'll be bodybag'd at PCGS, so if you want it in plastic, send it to ANACS.

    Bodybag is when PCGS or NGC will not grade the coin. commonly damage to the coin, cleaning, artificial toning etc. ANACS will "net grade" a problem coin. ANANCS will say VF details, cleaning, net F12. They'll downgrade it to reflect its market value.

    PCGS will only grade coins that are problem free, coins that are cleaned, scratched, or damaged will be returned
    ungraded. Anacs will grade "problem coins" with a net grade. Your Bust quarter has VF details, but would
    probably be net graded to VF details, cleaned, net grade F-15. Worth approximately $50, not worth the price
    of grading IMO.

    Coin was probably cleaned (lightly) at one time. We've all seen more harshly cleaned coins in PCGS ( or any TPG) holders.

    It looks VF


    probably a problem coin -> obverse fielf looks like it could be pitted, corroded, or whizzed


    if so (it may be alright and close-up makes it look worse than it is) the top grading services will not encapsulate it and will send it back to you in a 'bodybag' saying what the problem is

    ANACS will slab it and say what the problem is and 'net' grade it

    1834 25c
    net F12
    VF details corroded


    or something like that

    So that means this one won't get bagged?

    Not at all. Most likely would. But on a bad day, it might make it into a slab.

    I don't know that it would get bodybagged... really hard to tell from the pictures... I can almost guarantee that that coin would not have such rough surfaces in person... look at the edge of the 2x2, you can see how that looks rough... the image quality has been lower so much, that the picture started to become pixelated, making the coin look rough...
