<p>[QUOTE="C-B-D, post: 2607439, member: 43130"]One time I submitted a late die state 1864 2 cent piece, clashed with Indian Head Cent, to PCGS. They did not attribute it. When I called they explained that "not enough of the clashing was present" and therefore, they decided not to attribute it. It was a VF30. So they didn't DISAGREE with me, per se, but they required more visible evidence of the clashing in order to attribute it.</p><p><br /></p><p>So it is possible that a top TPG could choose not to attribute something. (Also, I think [USER=70583]@jwitten[/USER] or someone had to submit a 1911 "weak D" $2.50 gold a few times before a TPG finally attributed it, because they disagreed or couldn't see it the first couple times). Having said that, the OP coin looks exactly like a business strike coin, and most certainly NOT a proof.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
