<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mac266, post: 5124126, member: 26371&quot;]Folks have noted the problem areas that *MAY* prevent it from getting a straight grade, but keep in mind three things:&nbsp; 1) TPGs are very forgiving for problems with early American coppers; it may get a straight grade.&nbsp; 2) Early American copper specialists usually prefer a coin be raw.&nbsp; It&#039;s what they like.&nbsp; If you have it graded and sell it to one of them someday, he/she will probably cut it out of the slab anyway.&nbsp; 3)&nbsp; Early American copper specialists use their own form of market grading, e.g. they will estimate the technical grade based on wear, and then move it up or down for things like color, corrosion, eye appeal, etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
