That's a lot of 1/2 cents would love to hear the story behind this bunch.

Granted, I've bought most of my half cents already slabbed... I did make an 1850 MS62BN though (sold raw as an AU). Tougher date in higher grades.

that is a tough one.
if they are you coins, would you be willing to share images of the questionable authenticity with me?
early copper is very high risk for TPG submission, as you see.
even a lot of board members state how they've cracked copper out for their albums only to resubmit and very rarely get them back into graded holders, just brutal.
.
for my heirs in the event something happened to me and 2 of them actualy received grades - guess I should
consider myself extremely lucky ( PCGS submission # 4672468 )
Trust me - You're not the only one this has happened to.

Some third party graders are brutal on early copper. I've seen early silver coins that had been cleaned, polished, re-colored or even had graffiti scratched on them that got graded. Many old gold coins have been dipped and stripped, some with significant surface alteration issues, and yet they have grades. It seems that early copper coins can't have anything done to them in contrast.
I have no doubt that the vast majority of the coins that this person submitted were problem pieces. Still, this list might be taken in context. A couple of the coins might not be as bad as they seem.
<< <i>Although that list is horrific I can tell you from personal experience that early copper one of the most difficult areas to get clean grades from PCGS and NGC. I had a couple of condition census pieces in my collection that were in the reference books as among the finest known for the variety with no reservations that came back in body bags.
