well I'll be... it went into a holder (large cent)

This was a throw-in to a junk silver lot I bought two years ago. I think my cost really is zero. When the current Collectors Club free special came along I decided, "Oh what the heck..." So it looks like I now have my one and only certified large cent (pictures taken before submitting).
I was expecting a Genuine holder on account of corrosion (?), but a grade posted today: AG03. I think I'm pretty stoked!

When in doubt, don't.

I agree with MikeInFl, as well as the OP...I would have thought 'gennie' due to corrosion, also, so, nice score.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

SEGS would give this coin a details grade and then note the corrosion on the label.

If they didn't there would be no AG's a coin that grade
would never slab as they all have problems at that grade.

Even at zero acquisition cost and zero grading cost (I drop off and pick up in person)?

Verdigris is a product of corrosion.

I know, a white elephant is supposed to come at too high a cost. This one didn't. Still, what to do with it????

Return it to PCGS because it's over graded.

I didn't think they would put stable corrosion into a slab either since any corrosion is a form of damage.
