Do the grading services grade a coin ( say a CC dollar) with a rim ding, visable only on the Reverse?

    If it's a minor ding my experience is yes.

    it's a judgement call. i have seen ones with rim dings graded and other body bagged. i think they take certain things into consideration...such as the severity...and i also think they take into account how nice the coin is otherwise and perhaps the rarity, etc. but i don't know for sure what the threshold or criteria is.

    If you really want it to grade clean probably not. Now if you don't really care and you send it in with a couple of hundred others on the same submission it probably just might grade.

    I've seen an otherwise beautiful MS 66 Liberty Nickel with a horrible rim ding in an MS 66 holder.

    I've told my story before, about an 1843 petite head, large letters in an NGC AU58 prong holder. A very pretty cent with a severe but mostly-hidden rim ding, discovered after cracking for a Dansco.

    NGC defended its grade and offered to reslab it but nothing more.

    I gripe about my lack of success in getting NGC to buy back their problems. But in this case I'm on the fence. A large photo of the coin and its ding makes you gasp. But in hand it's unobtrusive and the coin looks quite nice in the album.

    Yes, I have seen coins with small rim dings in holders. I don't necessarily disagree with them getting graded, if the ding isn't too drastic.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    As others said, it depends on the severity. If it's minor, then it'll grade; if not, then it won't.

    As others have said, minor rim dings with usually grade, major ones will not.

    They'll slab them if it's otherwise a nice coin, but expect TPG services to net grade for the rim ding.

    It all depends upon how big and obvious it is. I've seen Carson City pieces with minor rim marks on the obverse. Going by the other parts of the coin, it looked like one MS grading point had been knocked off the piece because of the rim marks.

    Thanks to all who replied. Good iinfo. I had not considered the net grading possibility.
