if damaged coins can get into top-tier slabs. Check out the scratches,
which are noted in the description, and come to your own conclusion. http://cgi.ebay.com/1793-WREATH-CENT...QQcmdZViewItem James |

But, early coppers from the first year of issue suffered many indignities, so standards are relaxed quite a bit by the top grading services on these early bits of Americana. Starred reverse 1794s will be accepted in most any condition unless they have been severely mutilated or have details re-engraved bith deal killing no-nos. Ira |

That's essentially the answer I gave to whoever it was that asked. I'm going to guess that the line between bodybag and slab is pretty fuzzy on those early coins, and not one that the grading services would care to define in any way, shape, or form. James |

It would seem simpler if they would all follow ANACS's lead and slab them with the problems noted & a net grade if they wanted. Year by year variance in standards works against one of the key arguments for third party grading -- consistency. IF |

Starred reverse 1794s will be accepted in most any condition unless they have been severely mutilated or have details re-engraved bith deal killing no-nos. Ira PCGS actually turned down the 1794 S48 I had. The bodybag said 'authentic - damaged'. It had the detail of perhaps FR2, but so many problems I doubt they would all fit on a slab label. But you could see the start from about 3:00 to about 5:00 on the reverse. Bruce (I OWNED the bottom of the Condition census with that coin) This discussion sends me to the Jules Reiver auction, where everything he owned ended up in a slab, pretty or no. One look at those coins and it is obvious that he collected for the sheer pleasure of it and took a very practical approach to variety collecting. I've tried, but not wholly succeeded, in keeping snags out of my collection, but I have mixed feelings about it to this day. Right now I'm looking for an 1804 dime, and I'm not getting any younger. A dealer I know has ten of them (he calls them his "1804 dollar"). Some are slabbed and some are raw. The slabbed ones are already into five figures, and the raw ones are pretty badly hosed. I don't know what I'll do if a hosed example ever comes my way at a reasonable price. James |
