Message:: [QUOTE="C-B-D, post: 1670421, member: 43130"]Body bagged is a term from the old days when a TPG would just send the coin back in a flip with a sticker on it that said, "damaged, not gradable." PCGS and NGC still bodybag coins, but only in 2 circumstances that I know of. I had a PCGS bodybagged coin come back to me last year. It was a "altered date" 1942/1 Mercury Dime. For obvious reasons, they were not going to put it in a holder. 2. I sent off a draped bust quarter to NGC that they stated was genuine, but about 20% of the surface had been filled and tooled due to the coin once having a HUGE hole/cavity in it. (The repair job was masterfully done, I might add). I eventually got PCGS to slab it. They called it "Holed and plugged VF details", but NGC wouldn't holder it.[/QUOTE]
