Is this 1864 2 cent piece worth grading ?? *NOW WITH MY PICS IN 1ST POST*

GrimReaper

May have suffered from an old cleaning and my images aren't perfect either .

Doubling in marked areas .

.
the condition is there but with those images, hard to tell if it has been monkeyed with.

about the only thing worse than au58 or aut58+ is unc details. lol

nice coin either way.

Now that i look again it does look sorta burned out...no luster probably means dipped out or cleaned

Could be the photos, but the color doesn't look right. I'm guessing it will bag for altered surfaces or recoloroing.

pjcoins

They will probably bag it for the color. Still a nice piece with cool cuds!

Broadstruck

Can't condemn it for problems based on the pics... If there's a return option it's worth seeing in hand.

Bagged for color.

The cud on the obverse is cool! late die variety-high grade MS-61 so so strike!

yosclimber

With most digital cameras on automatic exposure setting, the apparent color will depend a lot on the background color.
So it's hard to judge the color, actually.

Could go either way from those pictures.... no decision.. Cheers, RickO

Looks MS64ish from the pictures, no distracting marks. Good strike. If it hasn't been cleaned, send it in. Also it's got the repunched date too. Not sure if that's FS-1301 or FS-1302 off the top of my head. Nice coin!

TommyType

Could be my aging eyes....but it sure looks like doubling on the "1" in the date? Don't have a reference book handy to confirm a known variety or scarcity, so that may mean nothing value wise.

Added: Beaten to it in the previous post. (I think and type too slowly. )

It has Mint State sharpness, but looks to have been cleaned. For that reason I don't think that it will get a grade and therefore is not worth sending in for certification.

Here is a piece that has been graded MS-65, Red. It is in an old PCGS "rattle holder."

New pics in first post .

The color balance in the photos seems to be off. That said, the surfaces appear lifeless which is what I would expect to see if the coin had been cleaned.

Great coin Bill and probably a 66 if regarded. Maybe a + as well.
