That's the only 1819/8 I don't have. Wish I'd seen it first!
Lance.
I really like the look.

I might do an AU date set but 400+ AUs is way more than I want to tie up in my set.
Great pics too!

So does it have a shot at an upgrade?

She's a keeper!

No, there's not a chance it will upgrade; the coin is pretty dull. Although the detail is AU/UNC, the lack of luster is a major limiting factor.
I just noticed that PCGS made an attribution error; they called it the "Small 9" when it is actually the "Large 9" overdate. I've seen this mistake before and it is an easy one to make considering the 9's hardly differ in size. Still, I'm slightly annoyed considering the coin is Registry Set quality and won't fill the right hole in the online sets with the current attribution.
I'll take the coin to Long Beach and speak with some PCGS reps about the issue. I've heard they're more than willing to clear these kinds of things up.
If you write to Stephanie Zamarripa at PCGS (AZamarripa@collectors.com) and send her photos she will send you detailed instructions for returning the coin by registered mail (only). You follow-up with an email citing the submission form number and proof of your shipping costs and you will get a refund check in the mail (a few weeks later).
PCGS seems to be pretty quick on the turnaround.
You could do this at a show but they won't fix it there. These corrections have to be handled back at the shop, I was told.
