<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1312983, member: 26302&quot;]I understand sir, but in fact they did label it. They didn&#039;t label it 1921 (unknown), they labeled it 1921 (philadelphia). I simply do not think they have enough information to be conclusive either way, so I object to them definitively stating its a Philadelphia issue. Again, would they make the exact same call on a 1921 half, or any other year in which a Philadelphia specimen is more expensive than a mintmarked example? If so, then I would retract my objection, if they would handle those cases identically. Labeling a coin that it has an absence of a mintmark is just as determinative as labeling it as having one to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw how do they handle a coin where the date cannot be completely read? Say it could be 1798 or 1799 large cent, and the variety is not determinable so no way to determine the date that way. Would they label it a 1799? A 98? Or simply slab it 179?.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
