<p>[QUOTE=&quot;catbox_9, post: 26523419, member: 7344&quot;]I&#039;m collector of Irish coins in general and recently picked up this Hiberno-Norse penny. While I would presume it is genuine as the seller is an authorized dealer for both PCGS and NGC, I want to make sure and also get it slabbed to protect it. While I understand it might not be the best use of money to get it graded, I want to send it somewhere.</p><p><br /></p><p>In general I prefer PCGS to NGC, but it seems like for world coins NGC tends to be a bit more common. I have a few Anglo-Norman Irish coins and NGC seems to be quite a bit easier to find. Looking at the population reports, it seems PCGS actually has certified about twice as many Hiberno-Norse pennies as NGC.</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin also has a split flan. While that is obviously not a desired characteristic, I have no idea what that will mean in terms of grading. My main goal with grading is to get it slabbed so that I don&#039;t have to worry about accidentally breaking it, but I&#039;m curious what type of grade it might end up with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
