[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 7817085, member: 10461"]It won't [I]straight[/I]-grade, if that's what you mean. It will get a "details" grade from a TPG (third-party grading service), due to the issues it has (pitting, scratches, etc.) That being said, it's a US coin from the 1700s. Those are always fun, regardless, and often come with problems like this. You'd get it back in a holder that said "xx details" - with a description of the problem(s): scratches, corrosion, environmental damage, whatever. I see no reason that coin needs to be submitted for grading. As a matter of fact, the EAC (Early American Coppers) specialists are notably anti-slab. Sure, it's a "problem" coin, but it's still cool.
