<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 934311, member: 21705&quot;]To get to the bottom line. Any coin which has any problem which might affect it&#039;s value will not be graded because the TPGs essentially guarantee authenticity and value for the particular grade. Since problems of any nature reduce the value below the problem free coin, it gets either a Detail (NGC) or Genuine (PCGS) slab which guarantees authenticity but not value for the grade. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now it can be body bagged if it&#039;s bad enough.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe this is why there are more older graded copper coins slabbed than there will be in the future. I have a couple of hundred old coppers, but I suspect fewer than five would qualify for full grading. Most of the rest would probably get detail graded.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
