Hey CC family! I swear I'm not incompetent with all these grading questions. I've expanded my collection and I would like to start collecting higher grade coppers but I find they are substantially harder to grade than other coins. Can I have everyone opinions on this guy? Much appreciated!

I see very slight signs of wear - such as a faint rub on the top hairline. AU-58, with some concern over obverse rim issues at K10.

Could you show a pic of it in the slab?

I don't think even PCGS would grade this MS.

If they did, they blew it.

Even if they did, they would never give it RED, not even RB so It's questionable. I don't even see holder marks at the edges.

I was attempting to purchase this. The seller stated this was removed from a PCGS Ms-64 RED slab but I can't obtain photos of the slab. This isn't my coin. I passed on it. I am new to large cents and was going to purchase this around MS book value but things didn't work out. The seller is a very trusted collector who I see his name come up dozens of times a day as an honest guy!

Thanks for all your opinions, was very helpful.
