I am dropping this in what I believe to be the more appropriate forum.
"Planchet Flaw" is not a feature which would cause PCGS to fail to slab your coin. Some other factor must have presented itself - corrosion, alteration, cleaning. There should be a numeric code, somewhere between 90 and 100, if I recall, which will define why they refused to grade.

Not sure why you would pick that coin to send in to a grading company, but whatever works for you. You do realize that it would be worth a maximum of a few dollars even in the holder...right?
PCGS will not grade coins that have flaws, even if they came out of the mint that way. NGC will grade them though, with the perfectly logical understanding that they did come from the mint that way. I have never undestood the rationale of PCGS in doing things the way they do.

As I said in my original post, free grading. That is why.

Free or not, it'd be a waste to send a G or even AU 1909 Lincoln to PCGS for grading. A good rule of thumb, "free" or not, is the coin should be worth at least $150 after it's graded.

Well, I somewhat disagree. It's fun to have some noodle-scratchers. I have a few "wt heck, why?" coins, but I never spent the $$ for certification. I can just imagine the grading company employee looking at the paperwork!
Anyway, the non-slabbed number is 2431.93/21180712
Thanks for reading,
MR

Thanks. What is meant by 'Holdered' ?
For code 93, it should have been encased in a holder?

I dont know if I am correct on this. I think that PCGS not to long ago changed its policy of what they will holder and wont. It use to be any of the codes listed they would not holder the coin. As of this time for code 93 they would holder it, at least thats what I have read.

Correct. Quote:
This coin was submitted prior to our genuine program being introduced. The coin was submitted prior to 2008, if the coin was sent in now and was graded the same we would place it into a genuine holder (as long as it does not go through our Secure + line). |

I personally wouldn't have used a free grading on a coin like that, but I have seen worse. I saw the sheet of the submissions my coin dealer sent in for people to NGC at the $25 cost, here were some highlights 1944D nickel, VG8 1954 LWC, VF-35 1972D Ike dollar, AU-50 details (polished if I recall) so I am not sure who was sending those coins in, but I can think of a better use for $75. |

"Planchet flaw" could mean a lamination that has broken off. If the lamination is intact it's considered an error coin, though minor laminations are of lesser value than other errors. But if the raised separated metal has broken off it is then considered a problem coin.
Does it look like a piece of the either side has pealed away?
