<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 1683193, member: 18157&quot;]Congrats! Beautiful coin!</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with <b>coinman1974</b> 100%...if you don&#039;t absolutely need the money, keep it in the family as your Grandmother did. That way, others can experience the joy you feel now. 1652 Pine Tree shillings are like beach front property...they ain&#039;t making any more of them (not authentic ones, anyway).</p><p><br /></p><p>...and that&#039;s another point! It seems a shame that PCSG wouldn&#039;t grade your coin. Shaving (or clipping) coins was a common practice long ago. It&#039;s part of the coin&#039;s history; it&#039;s part of numismatic history. It only makes the coin more interesting. </p><p><br /></p><p>I understand if the coin was altered (cleaned, whizzed, etc) to give the appearance of a higher grade...that would be an ungradable coin. In this case...an ancient clipping...I would grade it with a comment. That&#039;s almost what they did...but not quite.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
