Wondering how this 2010 UNC Shield cent would grade...

I don't have any plans of sending this into have it graded, but in looking at it, it begs the question (at least in my mind) of what kind of grade it would receive. The coin itself is UNC and has the beginnings of some toning around the obverse field edges....but are the spots carbon spots from someone sneezing on it or talking over it and spitting, or are they something else. Would a TPG grade the coin with a details grade or would it be considered just an MS coin which would net grade lower MS because of the spots?

not very high


Too many spots



or are they pits?

 

@Treashunt they're spots...do you think it would bring a details grade or just just straight MS-61 or something like that

 

Possible unc details

 

It should grade. Probably 64 or so, but not worth sending in.

 

63/64 or something in that area. Definitely not worth sending in.

 

With the spots I'd call it damaged/not collectable.

 

You see a lot of these newer 'shield cents' with the 'pox'. Is it the zinc? Gosh danged ugly to behold........

 

way off center too
