<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1865King, post: 7187342, member: 103207&quot;]o</p><p>PCGS may not give it a details grade.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen plenty of seated halves and seated dollars that were obviously messed with that were straight graded.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think the coin is really bad but if it looks the way it does in the last picture, it definitely had something done to it.&nbsp; Keep in mind any coin of that age that is white or semi white like this coin someone did something to it.&nbsp; At a minimum it was dipped.&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t look scrubbed.&nbsp; More than likely it was dipped a long time ago and somewhat recovered.&nbsp; It has a washed out look to it.&nbsp; in the 1800&#039;s to the 1950&#039;s they didn&#039;t have the type holders we have today so it was very hard to keep coins white.&nbsp; Coin dipping became really popular it the 1950&#039;s and 1960&#039;s and it&#039;s still done.&nbsp; Even the grading companies will do it for you.&nbsp; PCGS down graded it because of this.&nbsp; However, I think AU 53 would be a fair grade to put on the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
