1794 S-28 Large Cent, you vs NGC

This is Not a "Guess the Grade," but athread where you give your own opinion and see if NGC stacks up to the consensus. The pictures are accurate to the coin. I bought this coin on eBay from bad pictures for $38.


And to bring out the detail on the obverse a little bit.

That's a G06, I'm betting. Although I'd be comfortable at VG08

 

G-08 Obverse, G-06 Reverse so overall G-6

 

VG10

 

I'm assuming the reverse is weak because of a poor strike and not because of wear, so I'll go VG08. Really good buy for $38!

 

What? How? Why?!!!!

 

Not my series at all..... But to me, I'd be guessing G4 and a fantastic pick up on eBay!!

 

I'm going G-6 as well. Obverse solid vg. Unless they detailed it for rim damage

 

g6 obverse, g2 reverse, so I would call this 4 net 3 for those rim dings. It should not grade cleanly, but it will grade cleanly at TPGs...

 

sheesh!

$38!

Great deal

 

I see nothing wrong with this coin. On the other hand I hardly see anything.

 

obv looks VG to me. rev weaker, probably due to strike. So I'll say VG8.

 

To me the coin is ag-3, to me the slight rim dings kind of hurt it. NGC would probably be G4 to G6. A really good deal at $38.

 

NGC said G details, rim damage. I have shown this to EAC experts, and they have said that this coin is a solid G-06 (including the damage) that is worth VG/F money due to the incredibly nice surfaces.

 

That's a smokin deal, good grab for $38 and the rim dings don't bother me at all at that price and with nice clean surfaces for the age as far as I can see.

 

Wow. $38!!!!!

 

You can say that again. I'd crack it out just to hold it in my hand!

 

That's a you suck award candidate for sure!

 

Actually kind of surprised they said rim damage - seems to me I have seen worse in non-problem holders. Still at 38 dollars nice coin.

 

Seems overly picky giving that a rim damage details grade considering the amount of circulation it saw.
