1857 flying eagle cent with reverse lamination????

AFAIK, every major TPGS would straight grade the coin and put detached lamination on the label. I don't believe a slab would raise the coin's value to a knowledgeable collector so save your money to buy more coins.

Planchet Flaw
Metal impurity or defect in the planchet. Small, unobtrusive planchet flaws are acceptable. Large, obvious, poorly placed, or distracting flaws are rejected. Context is also important. Planchet flaws on certain U.S. Colonial coins are expected; planchet flaws on Morgan Silver Dollars are not.

This says that Pcgs will only give it a details grade.

 

Then I say suck PGCS...Use ICG or ANACS for laminations. Remember, when PCGS was founded by COIN DEALERS, they felt that only "perfect" examples of coins from MS on down to Fair should be graded so there would be no "surprises" for Sight Unseen buyers. NGC followed this also.

Much has changed and they both were dragged into the real world! Apparently, PCGS is still body-bagging some coins that IMO are deserving of a slab.

 

Here here! Take that!

 

That's in-freaking-sane. But it's monkey grading, right? The monkeys over there can't figure out how to correlate the details-grade with their price guide.

 

You wouldn't think that it would be very hard to grade a coin with a planchet flaw, I have a few MS wheats with a detached lamination. It seems like a cop out.

 

That video does appear to remove any doubt. I'll save my cash as advised. It makes me never want to send a coin off to be graded if it's really that unprofessional. The only option is to learn how to grade accurately myself and to hell with these companies. Thanks for everyone's help
