    Currently in an NNC holder. Sending into PCGS tomorrow. What do you think grade will be?

    Typical gun metal grey. Most likely cleaned years ago, but almost all were and they almost always gets slabbed. Should be VG8 according to books, but might get a 10. :)

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    I see no problems that would keep it from grading, and I agree with the VG grade.

    Honestly, I think it has a shot at F-12, but I like it better at a strong VG.

    Wow. I have a few that I've cast aside that look very similar. Perhaps I need to re-evaluate them if they can actually be slabbed.

    Who just has a few of these that they cast aside? This is a $5000 coin, or more.

    I meant a few worn large cents, a couple of plugged half dollars of old and the like. I didn't mean that particular coin or that particular date. Apologies.

    What is a plugged half dollar? Do you mean a normal half dollar which had a hole drilled in it and then was plugged? That is a damaged coin.

    The 1795 Silver Plug Dollar is a very unique mint product. The silver plug was inserted into the planchet by the mint to ensure that the silver content was correct. You can read about them here: http://urc.universityrarecoins.com/urccontent/wbd/M105_1795-Silver-Plug-Dollar.pdf

    The silver plugged dollar in the OP is *not* the same thing as a damaged and plugged coin.

    Thank you Sir! I just learned something and I stand humbly corrected. Didn't know any of that.

    Yes, I was referring to a plugged coin.

    That's a big hole right in the center. Someone shot a bullet through it?
    VG or even F details. Genuine, plugged/repaired.
    I don't see how this straight grades, but I have been wrong almost every time.

    1795 Silver Plug Dollar. Not a holed/plugged coin. Link in above post.

    Take a look at the link in my post #7 above.

    This is a genuine mint product. The plug in the center is what makes this coin special.

    OK ty now I see it.
    Still at VG/F. The reverse is better but these old rare silver coins
    get a little leeway on the grade. F would not surprise me.
