<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 7846819, member: 101855&quot;]The repair on that 1795 dollar is scary good. The main spot I see is to the left of the last “A” in “AMERICA” on the reverse. The letters in “LIBERTY” are so uniform that they almost defy detection. Usually the repair people distort the repaired letter just enough to make spotting the re-engraving easier to see.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have read about a repair guy in Kentucky who does great work. I have heard that he is so exacting that he melts really bad older silver coins to recover the metal he uses to make the plugs he uses to fill holes.</p><p><br /></p><p>So far as most of the other pieces you have listed, the flood of Chinese fakes is the main reason for getting them certified. It the old days, I would have said “No” to all of them. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don’t that the low grade large cent is worth the grading fee. I don’t know about the market for low grade, better date 19th century quarters to advise you. Are there collectors who really want hole fillers for a better date in a long series? The others, I think, are marginal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
