[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 4892386, member: 10461"]Agreed. It will not straight-grade at a third-party grader, and would come back as a "problem" coin in a "details" graded holder with the corrosion and/or other issues noted. You'd send it in for purposes of [I]authentication[/I], not grade. Even in a "Genuine/xx-Details/Environmental Damage" holder, the "Genuine" would be the key word. True, it would only be worth a fraction of the value of an undamaged piece as such, but since it would be a key date coin, you'd be sitting pretty, having gotten it for only face value (five cents). There is little downside risk there. Worst-case scenario, they refuse to slab it because it is fake (not likely), or altered (a possibility), and then you're out the slab fees. I'd say it is worth sending in. But show us some better pictures of the date area first, so we can look more closely. Nice find, regardless![/QUOTE]
