JOBESSI JOBESSI Talkative? Registered: 03/15/11 Posts: 818 Loc: Texas	...and it's not the toning. I am interested if you guys can see what PCGS said was wrong with this coin. If you guess it, maybe they aren't crazy, lol. Or do you think it has a shot at NGC? _________________________ Looking for high grade Pidcock Tokens!!!

They all appear damaged. So my guess would also be enviormental damage.What ever the grade, the slash across the eagle's chest would also bring it down at least 1 grade from where it should be if it could grade out. Wheat

TomB TomB TOTAL NEWBIE Registered: 01/28/02 Posts: 11788	The cut on the breast appears acceptable and I cannot see any obvious reason for the no grade. Therefore, I will guess that they called it counting wheel damage based on stars one through six in that they look like they may be damaged at their highest points. _________________________ Tom Posts are based on experience and are opinion only.
