Net graded PCGS Coins POLL

Coin Finder

You see a coin you have always needed but it is net graded by PCGS. What can you live with what is just not acceptable or pass at any price:

I'm willing to accept more problems when I buy 1792 half dismes, Gobrecht Dollars, 1933 Eagles, and 1804 Dollars than when I buy 1881-S Morgans.

This....



Plus, I think I'd have to see it. Not sure a poll captures all of the possibilities that a "scratch", or "altered surface", etc. could include.



Some are perfectly presentable pieces....some are just this side of becoming spacers to prop up a table leg.

Poll updated thanks guys

Very rare coin? All of the above.

The only way I'll EVER be able to afford a 1792 Half Disme is to get a net graded one.



I decided I can live with 98 Damage or 95 Scratch..... depending on the severity. I can live with one that is slightly bent or just damage that looks like it

might have been from circulation. Like getting run over by a horse & carriage....



In other words, damaged but in a "natural way."

I can live with anything on a rare coin. Bent, burned and plugged.

Man! I could only choose one listed! Depending on the severity, I could live with any except 97 and 98.

Baley

Assuming the price is fair, the amount and severity of problems I'll put up with is directly proportional to the rarity of the coin.



Also, depending on the feature(s) of the coin that are important to its identity (small eagle on early silver for example, or the PUPs on a rare die variety), I'd actually rather have a mid-grade coin with some minor damage, than a "problem-free" coin in a grade like Poor or Fair. (I put problem free in quotes, because in such case, I'd view the excessive wear as a bigger problem than a small scratch, rim ding, light cleaning, etc)

I've seen quite a few coins net graded and labled as "bent" where it was not even noticeable and they still fit in the 3 prongs properly.

Planchet flaws usually do not bother me..... a second choice would be a light cleaning on an old coin.... Cheers, RickO

QE is the easiest to live with because it shouldn't come into play in the first place.

Cleaning is next.

Then the rest.

Holed or plugged is the worst for me, but if coin is rare and price is right....OK.

topstuf

While I voted "Never" I did on one and only one and only because it's an error.



The look overcame the "damage" and in this case, I'm not sure if the damage is even significant.

TwoSides2aCoin

I'm willing to live with problem coins that are rare. Damaged, or otherwise... if they're in my hand.

LindeDad

"Net" is not a grade.



It says on the holder NOT GRADED.

johnny9434

no, i wont buy it. if im going to spend that type or kind of money ill wait to get something that i like and can live with. ( a planchet flaw might be remotely acceptable )

I chose 91 "Questionable Color", it could be sent in later on, cracked out of course, and given another go round with (hopefully) a different group of eyes.
