    Not sure why you submitted it, but would like to know.

    I suppose asking you all to figure out why I submitted this coin was unfair. The fact that this is a contemporary counterfeit would escape some who even specialize in this area. Beyond the weight, one can tell this is a counterfeit, by the way, the letter run of the edge of the coin. The genuine examples have very broad raised rims, which would mostly preclude this from happening even with extreme wear.

    This is yet another coin that I did not get correct. I was expecting this coin to come back VF details, but it came back straight graded as a VF-20.

    1797 Great Britain "Soho Penny"

    My grade: VF-details

    Rim Mashed up, like really mashed up. Now, some TPG dont even blink an eye at that sort of rim damage, but for me, this is a details coin.

    Yup, I've seen that before myself. Sent in scratched up old slabs for reholder, get back scratched up new slabs. :mad:

    Also, I have submitted fresh NGC certified coins, holders still perfect, shipped to CAC, and then CAC scratches them all up. I even had CAC promise to take extra care with my "scratch-resistant" NGC holders. Well, shouldn't they do that with everyone's coins? o_O

    It's like people just feel the need to drag slab across sandy tables?

    Wild guess F15 on the half crown.

    I am so sorry. I fell behind. This one ended up grading F-12. I had marked this one down as a VF-20 based on other graded examples in my collection, but I will be the first to admit that I am a noob with this series.

    1645-46 England 1/2 crown (S-2778)

    My grade: VF-20
