<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 784143, member: 6036&quot;]As many know, the TPGs have a tough time handling early copper, as most of it does indeed have problems which would disqualify a modern coin. The 1796 1/2c in question is a classic example.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is it a &quot;problem&quot; coin ? The fact that it resides in a &quot;no problem&quot; holder is not the final arbiter; each individual must draw their own conclusion. Clearly, the coin has significant porosity. IMHO, most early coppers with that much corrosion do not get &quot;no problem&quot; holders.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since the 1796 1/2c is a classic rarity, my opinion is this one got the benefit of the doubt - the &quot;classic rarity&quot; curve.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
