<p>[QUOTE="beef1020, post: 2391178, member: 24544"]That sounds frustrating to think you are getting it attributed and then to get it back without. For what it's worth, I don't really trust PCGS to attribute early copper anyway, I have had too many mis-attributed and they do not guarantee their attribution. So if you pay a premium for a rare variety based on their attribution, they will not stand behind it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Additionally, to maximize the value of this coin, if and when you sell it, it's gonna go to someone who specializes in early copper, and they will either be able to attribute it themselves and be comfortable, or they will ask a dealer who they trust. The PCGS attribution will not make a difference.</p><p><br /></p><p>It looks like an NC4 to me, obverse 11 based on the date position and the T position related to the forehead, reverse Q based on the triple leafs left of ONE and CENT. Nice coin. Did you cherry pick this or buy it attributed?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
