    Hi all,

    Recently robec was kind enough to let me piggyback his submission (for the second time!) to PCGS. One of the coins submitted was a 1932 H10 that was cracked out from an ICG slab (EDIT to add: It was formerly in an AU55 ICG slab). Anyone care to guess the grade that PCGS assigned it? Pictures below.

    They could either be on-point or one grade lower IMO. You'd really have to see the coin to tell though. It's a really nice looking half dime though.

    I'm gonna say au-58 a nice looking coin with pretty retoning from an old dip

    I was tempted by Au58, but voted questionable color. I think PCGS might object to the reverse color.

    I think ICG got it right in the first place... Why would you re-submit it? Only if you were hoping for an upgrade, right? So I would say it's in an AU58 holder now.

    Why wouldn't you a coin in a pcgs holder is a heck of a lot easier to sell then a coin in an icg holder people trust them more

    ok I see the advantage from a dealer's perspective; as a collector I wouldn't do that

    Wow it seems from the poll that people think that ICG is a tough grader. I never would've thought....

    Me I graded the coin not the slab I said 58 was a tough call between 55 and 58 I went high due to the relative leiniency of the tpgs lately

    As a guy who has never had a coin graded & doesn't own a graded coin, how could this coin grade anything above an AU with the evident wear on the curls & eagle. Please do not take offense as I would LOVE to have this coin. I think it's magnificent! I just know that you guys know tons more than I do about the TPGs. This could be a very valuable learning experience for me.

    I took the AU55, minimal wear on the obverse but much more wear on the reverse.

    That's right, rev seems to have more wear, so finally I voted for Au55 as well.

    Not my series, but I went for 50. I could see it getting questionable color.
