This coin does not have the grade designation because it was considered to be among those having the most severe damage.

When NGC/NCS agreed to do the conservation on these coins they developed a new grading standard especially for them and other shipwreck coins that may follow. The decided on 4 different classes of grades -

SHIPWRECK EFFECT A — a coin exhibiting minimal surface disturbance from saltwater exposure, and exhibiting superior eye appeal for a shipwreck artifact.

SHIPWRECK EFFECT B — a coin showing evidence of light surface disturbance from immersion in saltwater, and may have some areas of moderate disturbance, not affecting central design elements. Coin possesses above-average eye appeal for shipwreck recovery coin.

SHIPWRECK EFFECT C — a coin displaying moderate disturbance to its surface from exposure to saltwater, while possessing at least average eye appeal for a recovery specimen. Accurate attribution and identification is not hindered by any surface impairment.

SHIPWRECK EFFECT — portions of the coin exhibit heavy to severe disturbance from saltwater exposure, with metal loss affecting the design. While accurate identification and attribution may be possible, it is no longer possible to draw conclusive determinations about the coin’s surface prior to saltwater exposure.

In addition to categorizing the level of surface disturbance, NGC assigns a wear or details grade to coins designated SHIPWRECK EFFECT C or better.

It isn't found, that's my point.

Read the last sentence again - "NGC assigns a wear or details grade to coins designated SHIPWRECK EFFECT C or better."

What is in italics in my last post is taken directly from the NGC site. Go read it yourself - http://www.ngccoin.com/shipwreck-coin-certification/shipwreck-effect-designation.asp
