<p>[QUOTE=&quot;buddy16cat, post: 1572129, member: 37356&quot;]My intentions were not to prove you wrong nor you having to prove you right.&nbsp; I never asked whether anyone thought it was corroded and don&#039;t want to spark that debate.&nbsp; I asked what level AU it was since it was marked AU and see there are several listed unlike other grades like Fine or extra fine.&nbsp; I am not going to post another picture for this purpose, for someone to prove their point.&nbsp; I know that I read on the NGC website that if the corrosion effects the overall appearance of the coin, the details grade is assigned.&nbsp; The coin is dark I realize but it certainly doesn&#039;t have the appearance of coins I have seen with heavy corrosion nor their certainly isn&#039;t gunk on it so I would disagree with those statements.&nbsp; It is my opinion though that people generally are more concerned about the overall appearance of the coin and believe that the light brown coin and the other 1907 I posted later have a nicer appearance.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My opinion is that of what the forum administer was speaking of, the naturally toning process that eventually will turn the coin black rather than some type of environmental damage.&nbsp; I certainly think that it is perfectly acceptable to believe what you want.&nbsp; I have gotten grades on coins that range from VG08 through VF25 when asked and certainly don&#039;t believe them all.&nbsp; I do realize though that when dealing with opposing points of view, ego and reputation do come into play but people can&#039;t be right all the time.&nbsp; This coin below is certainly higher than a VG08:</p><p><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/attachments/215035d1352448722t-cent-1834-1a.jpg" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/attachments/215035d1352448722t-cent-1834-1a.jpg">http://www.cointalk.com/attachments/215035d1352448722t-cent-1834-1a.jpg</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
