would this 1794 cent grade? or come back genuine not gradable?

There are several dealers that bought at the height of the copper market in 2009 and 2010 who think their purchases are exempt from economics. Instant 30-50% markups aren't likely to draw as much interest with the loss of several well heeled purchasers out of the collection business.

But I could be wrong.

I find this to be a common occurence at times - not just any one dealer and not just ebay. I have seen them buy off heritage, mark them up 20 to 40% and actually sell the choice coins. I have seen it with dealers and on ebay - even a couple with the make an offer to the owner on heritage. Hard to say sometimes.
