<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Speedy, post: 135054, member: 705&quot;]I saw this coin on Ebay last week and IMHO it looks overgraded---and of course the carbon spot</p><p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1856-Large-Cent-MS-64-Red-Brown-PCI-Upright-5-Braided_W0QQitemZ8425575249QQcategoryZ11950QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1856-Large-Cent-MS-64-Red-Brown-PCI-Upright-5-Braided_W0QQitemZ8425575249QQcategoryZ11950QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1856-Large-Cent-MS-64-Red-Brown-PCI-Upright-5-Braided_W0QQitemZ8425575249QQcategoryZ11950QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem</a></p><p>Now it could be just a weakly struck coin---the whole top half of the ovb looks either weakly struck or it has wear and has been re-colored.</p><p>The stars/hair/headband above the L in LIBERTY and the curls......all seem to have wear on them....now if that is wear it would only grade AU but lets say that it is a weakly struck coin.....wouldn&#039;t the 2-3 carbon spots lower the grade below the MS64 level??</p><p><br /></p><p>Speedy</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW--I see that SGS will take coins for grading....I think maybe I&#039;ll have to send them a coin or two and see how they come back&nbsp; :goofer: :goofer: :high5:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
