[QUOTE="tmoneyeagles, post: 931539, member: 17557"]No I said the slab wasn't in bad shape but then I kinda started talking about the coin, bet it threw you off, threw me off second time around reading it. LOL The coin has a series of marks on the reverse of the coin, a couple deeper nicks near the date, and a few marks on the leaves in different places, there is also a big mark, scratch really on, and past the A on both sides on FRANC. But none of those things make the coin ungradeable, they really are minor and are best seen with magnification. The obverse is so hard to inspect due to the dark toning. I can make out tiny, and I mean tiny imperfections, and somewhat of a weak strike near the hip. The coin really is beautiful, but what NGC would think worries me a tad. The luster can only be seen really well on the reverse and it is beautiful, but that is where most of the visible problems are. If it docks down to MS63, I already have a problem and will probably lose money if I have to sell it. I think I will keep it in the ICG plastic until I can get a decent picture, whether that be my or someone else's doing, I probably won't sell or try to submit to NGC anytime soon though.[/QUOTE]
