Message:: [QUOTE="Get Real, post: 2508521, member: 81585"]This is a Wheat Cent that I have been having for some time. I purchased it many years ago and until now never given it much thought. It is graded and slabbed but not by a reputable CGS so I don't believe the grade on the slab however it is the nicest specimen I have ever seen for that year, including the pictures online by the most reputable CGS's. I would like the Pro's opinion on the grade of this coin and later I will let you know who originally graded it and what that grade is. I would rather not have this thread clouded by the back and forth talk about the shady business that this company did in the past. As I said I don't really believe the grade on the slab but I think they may have let really nice gem slip through there fingers. A little info about the coin: There is absolutely "NO TONING" on this coin but the pictures suggest that is does but only due to lighting issues. NO! I will not take it out of the Slab to take better pictures! There are not even as much as a hairline scratch on it and I want to keep it that way with the exception of a couple of tiny bag marks on the reverse. The actual color is a beautiful shinny copper like the day it was made and the field is Proof Like. Your Opinion will be appreciated. [ATTACH=full]533167[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]533168[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
