    This is in a PCGS slab. The plastic has many scratches that I've tried to repair, but I'm thinking about reholdering (assume I must first join the PCGS club). While I love the coin, the little circular carbon spot in front of liberty's face is a bit distracting. What do you think of a NCS/NGC submit instead to fix?

    Anyway, indulge me and guess the grade (I have posted the coin a few monthes ago so don't cheat :mouth:) along with any advice you have!

    Leave it exactly as it is and send it to me. That would solve all your problems-no more distracting spots. I would say this coin is XF45. What did I guess last time? I sure I gave a grade.

    I'm thinking upper VF.
    I particularly like the surfaces. Looks like they started with a nice planchet.
    I'll know better when I get my 1798 back from NGC (assuming they don't body bag it.)
    It should be about the same grade although I don't remember the surfaces being that nice.

    Mark - keep your hands to yourself! As to your guess, yep, you are consistent!

    I was only thinking of you catbert. I would hate to see those spots are driving you crazy. :)

    Distracting carbon spot? I wish I had a coin like this even with 10 distracting carbon spots. Nice coin!!!!

    XF 40 is my guess. 45 would't surprise me either. Excellent coin, Catbert. :)

    p.s. if you get some plastic polish (PlastiX) you can generally buff out the scratches in a slab -- or at least make them less evident. Takes some elbow grease though.

    Ding, ding, ding! We have a winna! Thank you Mr. Leadfoot (I assume you drive something fast?).
