GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 04/13/2016 10:49 am If I remember correctly Older PCGS slabs were labeled this way. I think today the labeled would read something like this 1804 1/2C Good details Cleaned Spiked chin Report this Post to the Staff
Dipper Valued Member 146 Posts	Posted 04/13/2016 10:53 am Picture is not sharp! Coin IS NOT CLEANED. It looks corroded. The submitter probably knew it had problems and requested Genuine Only label. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 04/13/2016 12:14 pm That slab dates to the time when PCGS first started slabbing problem coins, they did not assign Details grades to them like they do now. Report this Post to the Staff
edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 04/13/2016 1:51 pm Yeah, looks corroded to me too. Report this Post to the Staff
billjones Pillar of the Community United States 1499 Posts	Posted 04/13/2016 4:04 pm I'm sorry, but you coin is corroded. Its surfaces have been attacked by the elements. Here is an 1804 Spike Chin that did get a grade. Note the differences in color and smoothness. Report this Post to the Staff
