Nice pickup. I see it as a VF. Gotta love large cents.
I think both coins should be in details holder. I would not be surprised if NGC did not net grade it. One of the reasons why you buy the coin...
Nice one - all that needs to be said.
I am going to say the 4 PCGS coins got stickers.
My personal opinion is you are better off with a nice pleasing lower grade problem free example, than a higher grade problem coin. Plus keep in...

Looks like a cracked planchet to me also.
Beautiful three coin set.
What do you know - found another. [IMG]
