Slab or BB? Seated 50c

Manorcourtman

Does this hit on the shield/leg look to harsh to slab or would it be MA??

LogPotato

Don't know what PCGS would say, but I wouldn't find it acceptable in a graded holder.

TennesseeDave

IMO it would BB for a scratch? or damaged.

i've seen some crazy stuff in slabs though.

that is a highly focal point so it should bb.

I think it'd BB

Even if it weren't in such a focal point on the coin (like the fields), it's still a pretty deep hit, and shouldn't be in a numerically-graded holder. IMHO.

BB.

Not a chance. Sorry.

That is a gouge. Yikes.

BB, the scratch is too evident

Damage to obv center of a half dollar I'd say BB 99% of the time. And even if you got the 1 out of 100 score, no buyer in their right mind would give you VF/XF money for the coin.

If the half were 50 years older it might grade. But I don't think this one will.

BB on that also. The fact the scratch passed through the shield and into parts of the drapery makes it a real significant ding.

halfhunter

Sure is ashamed about the gouge as it really has that nice circ cam look.

Ouch! Not a fan.

Definite BB. I've had coins BB'ed over much less serious marks.

That being said, it ain't a terrible looking coin. Leave it raw, though.

Scratch is way to evident. That puppy comes back in a Genuine Holder.
