1889 CC - scratched in a PCGS holder?

Linkage Its an old scratch, but it is still very evident.

    Presumably it was judged to be not excessive damage for the grade.

    Looks like it was net graded too.

    Yeah, i don't think that was body baggable.

    The coin only grades a VG-10, and given that grade it's not unusual for a silver dollar to pick up a minor rim bump or two. All it takes is one minor drop on stone floor sometime during the last 100 years, and you have a rim bump.

    Given the overall look of the coin, I'd say that this looks pretty nice for an 1889-CC in VG-10. You can see uglier coins in higher graded holders.

    I wouldn't have a problem with that 89 CC. Actually it would fit nicely in my circulated set. First thing that I would do is crack it out of the slab. image
