1796 Half Cent With Pole NGC Not Suitable For Certification Please Help

jbuck please do not merge my post how are people suppose to know that all new information on a coin that could be worth tens of thousands of dollars is now on the 23rd comment? I want the same people who commented on this post to see a new post and not an old post with almost 1000 views and when you open it see old outdated photos. Thank you.

Thank you 1796nopole. I talked to PCGS since they have looked at it in the past and I was told by a staff member it needs to be unanimous. I asked how many graders looked at it and what the decision was between them like how many said yes its real or no its fake. She wouldn't answer that question and I wasn't allowed to speak with a grader. Id like to send it in again but not sure how to go about it. Plus I'd love if someone from EAC would look at it I contacted them they said they'd have someone get in touch with me and I haven't heard back since.

For folks interested in a deep dive on this coin, here is a link to a now-locked additional thread:

@dstring, I am requesting that you keep the discourse here civil. We are here to help and educate people. Sarcasm belongs elsewhere. Thx.

If someone offered you 5K for this coin and you only paid 300 for the whole lot I am a bit surprised you didn't jump all over that. Bob Grellman would be an EAC member who could evaluate your coin.

Dude PCGS has been in this business for 35 years and seen millions upon millions of coins; even the one you have pictured here. They of all people are the experts in determining whether it is real, questionable, or fake. If you sent it to multiple TPGs and all of them failed to recognize your coin as genuine, your best bet is to just sell it as is. The TPGs obviously see something that we don't. You won't get any extra help here that will help you argue a case with the grading services. Alternatively, you could take it to Pawn Stars?

Thanks for several of the comments made. Those who attacked poor grammar, told me to take a hint and made pointless comments I really don't appreciate it. I was simply asking for help because it did not come back as not genuine or genuine, so I was looking for someone to give me their options on why this would happen and what they think about the coin. PCGS would not give me the answer on why it came back undecided other than it was not unanimous. 1796nopole, Conder101, and whatdowehavehere thanks for giving me great information much appreciated. You're comments were exactly what I was looking for. Also I do not sell anything I buy I did not ask for opinions on take the money and run they could have offered me a million dollars and I would have said no I don't collect to make money I collect for the history. I only mentioned the money portion because someone asked how much I got it for and I mentioned that I was offered $5,000 by a dealer as a hint to those who read my post that if a dealer had their trusted sources look at it and offer me $5,000 than just maybe again there is something I'm not seeing here. Lastly I only reposted so that there were clearer pictures since the coin was not in my possession at the time of the original post.

No.

By having two separate topics you will lose readers who will give up not wanting to go find an old topic for reference.

When new replies are added to a topic it gets bumped to the top of the list and people get the new information. Anyone who has never read it before will start from the top and read it all in context. No information is lost.
