<p>[QUOTE=&quot;beef1020, post: 2161684, member: 24544&quot;]Do I think it should have graded cleanly, no. If you had asked me prior to grading if it would have, I would have told you yes.&nbsp; It appears on these 1793-1796 coins that level of roughness is considered market acceptable.&nbsp; I have seen worse on a 96 liberty cap and it graded cleanly.</p><p><br /></p><p>To be fair, that&#039;s pretty much par for the course in terms of roughness on the 96 draped bust large cent.&nbsp; The planchets were sourced from England and most of them underwent corrosion on the ride over.&nbsp; Many rough 96 busts were rough when they left the mint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
