Not sure if the planchet defects would affect the grade, but I'd say AU-55. Great coin!

AU53. as paralyse mentioned, its tough to find a clean example without any issues. due to its grade the obverse defect is almost certainly original to the coin. very nice and a tough date to get in this grade. since its not PMD I would hope it graded straight.  |

Lovely, at a minimum, AU-55 albeit the potential of Details grade w/pitting (key focal area.)

Solid 53+ at a TPG. I like it at 50 considering the planchet flaws......Stunning example!! |

Beautiful coin! They don't appear to be planchet defects to my eye though. Beautiful coin none the less!

jpbone, since this old thread got resurrected from the dead, out of curiosity, what is your opinion on the area of roughness by the date and star 12?
I've put it under my microscope since this was posted, and it appears to be pitting or porosity. I am not quite sure what would have happened; my working theory is that there were impurities or contamination in the planchet in those areas, and those resulted in the pitting seen on the coin.
I might have this one slabbed eventually, and maybe they'll be able to shed more light on the exact nature of the damage, and whether it was a planchet issue, or some sort of highly localized environmental damage.

paralyse, I agree with your assumption about the impurities, however; to me, this would still be considered corrosion/env. damage IMO. Not sure if you were implying it may straight grade or not. Anyway, I didn't realize this was an old thread and meant no disrespect by my comment. I have a 1794 large cent I posted on here a while back that was busted out of a VF details PCGS holder with about the same amount of pitting in a single spot that was holdered env. damage. Anyway, I love the coin! Here is a link to the 1794 here: http://goccf.com/t/238346#238346Edited by jpbone

jpbone, I didn't take it as being disrespectful at all! Was just curious as to your thoughts. I am fairly certain that it might not pull a straight grade at a TPG. More interested in what might have caused it, and how.

Cool. Yea, I wandered the same thing about mine. There are actually 2 pretty deep spots on it that I believe caused it to be labeled "details". Weird how the entire coin looks good except those two spots. Kinda like yours.
