<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinman1981, post: 701388, member: 20610&quot;]Does PCGS grade and slab modern coins which are even slightly porous? I purchased on eBay a 1909-S Good-6 Lincoln cent in a PCGS slab -- no remarks on the holder whatsoever outside of the wear-based grade and the serial number -- and I swear that I can see what appears to be a few minute black specks (porosity?) on both the obverse and reverse. I even see a streak of rust-colored red just left of Lincoln&#039;s head and stretching sown to about his neck -- corrosion?</p><p><br /></p><p>Am I seeing something that is not really there? Would a porous 1909-S make it into a PCGS slab, or is my coin likely not at all porous? It is a Good-6; probably normal surface for its grade? There&#039;s a return policy on it, and I am trying to decide if my coin is really problem free or not....This is a bona fide PCGS slab with hologram and everything else, no tampering. I don&#039;t at all question the seller...I am questioning PCGS!</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for any insight![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
