would this 1794 cent grade? or come back genuine not gradable?

What do you all think PCGS would do with this 1794 Large Cent?

Genuine, Not Gradeable or Gradeable.
If you think it would grade, what do you think it would come back as?

Thanks for your input!

To be honest, I think that coin has had an old cleaning. I can tell over the high points. ANACS will put a grade on a cleaned coin but it would be in a "details" slab. PCGS would probably go with Genuine, not gradable. I'm no expert so I can be completely wrong. I would like to see what everyone else thinks. Good luck :smile

 

The porous surfaces also wouldn't warrant a grade.

 

that makes sense ... thanks for your input!

 

I agree with the others that this coin will likely not grade.

The good news is that the coin's value is virtually the same slabbed and unslabbed.

Neat coin.

 

I think it's nice looking ... however the seller wants $999 for it ... which i think is too much

 

Yes, $1000 in a little too much for that. Even though its a rare date, its still cleaned. I would pay no more than $700 for it. Maybe $725.

 

S-57 i believe. its nice but would probably grade genuine - VF details. the price is high.

 

Very nice but way over priced at a G.

 

I have to go with S-59 R3- 30 detail net 15 using photograde. Probably 20 net 10 EAC standards. Uneven wear hurts. It's a nice coin for an old copper.

 

I'd like every G Early Date in your inventory if that coin is your G.

 

Marshall, not sure what you were trying to say ... but i think bq was using G. to represent a "Grand" ($1000)

 

nvm what i said before. S-59 is correct.

 

I, of course, took it to mean G as in Good 4-6. G for grand makes perfect sense.

 

I think you're right.

 

I thought that coin looked familiar. I have dealt with the seller before without any issues. I always check Shawns inventory and his ebay auctions. And if any of you all are interested he called it VG10.

 

yes, it's a nice coin ... just overpriced

 

Yes - and if you get lucky the coin will not sell and it may make it to one of his auctions. Then you might be able to save some $. That is how I got my first 1796 draped bust cent. I saved more than I expected.

The worst part about it was he had a 1804 that I saw one night that I wanted. The next day was an off day so I was going to send him and email to find out what I needed to do - went to back to his site to order it and it had already sold. Sigh.

 

Be patient. A better example will come around.

Shawn will have lots of coins to look at over the next few days -- keep checking!

 

This coin was sold at the EAC 2010 auction as VG 8 for $ 750 plus 10% comission. It is an S-59, R-3.
