This is a case where (1) I think</p><p>PCGS missed the boat on the grade (probably because of the tiny size of the coin)...</p><p>if this were a U.S. copper of the same era, it would grade at least 2 points higher, and</p><p>(2) even so, numerical grade has no bearing on the eye appeal of the coin. I bought</p><p>it sight unseen and lucked out beyond my imagining...</p><p><br /></p><p><b>1/4 Farthing, 1839.
