Body bag Yes/No?

The porosity and the rim dent would get it bagged. You'll have better luck with ANACS. Nice coin by the way.

Koinlink · January 8, 2005 4:02AM

Still a really nice coin.

100% chance of a bodybag at NGC and PCGS.

You're wrong, Cammie. Clearly it's no more than a 97.3% chance.

It's interesting how many of the Rasmussen collection coins were "no grades" at NGC, including many condition census specimens. The EACers seem to have a refreshing disdain for the TPGs.

do they BB red X's..??????/

morgannut2 · January 8, 2005 5:36AM

I've never understood why PCGS didn't borrow EAC standards. Heck--They stole the 70 point scale from coppers.

RYK · January 8, 2005 5:38AM

The coin, now that I see it, is too corroded to get into a PCGS slab. Otherwise, a decent looking 18th century cent.

JoesMaName · January 8, 2005 5:48AM

Thanks for your posts and votes, I can see a trend and the Bag-its are winning!
I'd be foolish to send it in then.
In your collective opinion is it worth sending a coin like this to ANACS just to have a net grade applied to it? Would you bother sending it?

re: ANACS: For Resale? yes... For personal collection? Probally Not...

es it would get body bagged. It i still a fairly nice coin though. It is either an S-182, 183, or 184. 182 is scarce, 183 is rare, and 184 is common. Unfortunatly I am at work and don't have my attribution notes with me so I can't tell which it is.

LincolnCentMan · January 9, 2005 5:53PM

If you have to ask.... then they'll probably bag it.

Might as well join the crowd, BB.

dorkkarl · January 9, 2005 9:39PM

of course they'll bodybag it! after all, it's a worthless piece of junk if it can't get into a plastic holder!

Conder101 · January 10, 2005 2:37AM

Ok, checked the books and it is an S-184, the common variety. Still a very decent piece though. And it doesn't have a really high Condition Census. The 16th finest known is a VF-35.

ziggy29 · January 10, 2005 2:44AM

I'd say almost certainly it would get bagged. It would get bagged for sure if it were a later coin, but the TPGs are a bit more lenient with 18th century coinage.

I don't think they'd be THAT lenient, though. To ANACS with this one.

RYK · January 10, 2005 3:27AM

I have some large cents in similar condition. Every once in a while, I like to take them out and actually hold them. I would not holder the coin. You will enjoy it more outside the holder, it is unlikely you will damage it, and the buyer of such a coin will not care if it is holdered. Frankly, as a potential buyer, I would rather buy the coin raw than in a holder that is "dissing" the coin ("corroded", "scratched", etc.).

Shamika · January 10, 2005 4:22AM

Given the age of this coin, I think PCGS would probably not bag it.

JoesMaName · January 10, 2005 10:27AM

Thank you everyone for your opinions and to Conder for the variety info!
