Holdered 1851 large cent; guess the grade and if this is straight or details graded!

XF Details rim damage?

 

My grade? VF details, environmental damage

TPG grade? Who knows?

 

XF, Filed Rims

 

Looks like an NGC holder so I would say XF. While my grade would be VF details. Some of these really take wild swings from the tpgs.

 

12

 

I agree with your assessment Larry, but you know the TPG saw it higher than that!

 

Straight VF-25 (BN, this is NGC) Rim damage doesn’t matter unless it’s either really bad or protrudes beyond the rim and into the field. I feel like this coin could go straight.

Is this a rare Newcomb? I don’t have time to attribute right now, but I don’t find late dates too much of a headache to attribute unlike most people.

 

VF-30 BN

 

Looks like an NGC so ill go VF-details.
PCGS its XF40 straight

 

VF-25 cleaned. It seems a little pink.

 

Interesting insight.

 

Vf35

 

I like to stir the pot when i get bored

 

Thanks for all the responses!
And the "winner" is...

 

Obviously (from my post) i totally nailed this one

 

I was at vf-30

 

25 here. I was right on the straight grade and the definition of “rim damage” but this is probably a weak strike that I undergraded.

 

From my post on the EAC site the "netted" grade range was VG-10 to VF-20...
No one liked it for the certed straight grade.

 

I was thinking VF30-35, but it has issues. Looks the the obverse rim was hit with an eraser at 6:00.
