Would this Large cent straight grade or details at PCGS

    No.

    Corroded, cleaned, smoothed, artificial toning (recolored) and rim problems. I have submitted far nicer early copper than this piece that came back to in a body bag.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    My guess would be Details Grade but who know?

    I would guess details as well.

    I like that variety, but likely too many rim issues to straight grade.
    Too bad it wasn’t left in that old ANACS holder.

    Probably not but I wouldn't bet one way or the other. Just where the line lies remains a mystery to me.

    (The question was best asked before the coin was cracked out.)

    Smitten with DBLCs.

    You're assuming he cracked it out. Looks to me like someone put it in an album and taped the old label to the album. It's probably how he got it.

    I would have left it in the ANACS slab.

    Nope. Was not making any assumption about who cracked it out.

    I think it will get a "silent" grade.

  • JimTylerJimTyler Posts: 3,707 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I vote yes, I've seen much worse in pcgs/ngc holders

  • TommyTypeTommyType Posts: 4,586 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I'm going to be a contrarian....and say that at that grade, it would straight grade, and be "quietly netted" to VG or so.

    If it were an XF or higher, no. The issues would preclude it. But a lower grade coin like this, I think it might.

    I've seen worse in "straight" holders.

    I believe it will details grade.... too many large rim dings.... other issues on the surfaces. Cheers, RickO
