StackerBacker New Member United States 38 Posts	Posted Yesterday 9:39 pm After quite a while at PCGS, I glanced at my submissions before they've arrived and to say the grader was having a bad day was an understatement. At least three of my previously PCGS graded coins that I cracked came back a full numerical grade lower, I know, I took that risk so I really can't fault anyone else....but this one I can't wrap my head around. I had this at least gem and it's damaged? Where? Anyone else have an idea? Great luster? Came back as unc details damaged Edited by StackerBacker Yesterday 9:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7254 Posts	Posted Yesterday 10:54 pm Did PCGS mention anything about wheel marks? I bought one slabbed coin that was Detailed using that term and I swear it took me about 20 minutes to find the small area on the reverse. Don't know how they spotted it, when they only inspect the coin for about a minute. Report this Post to the Staff
StackerBacker New Member United States 38 Posts	Posted Yesterday 11:06 pm I haven't actually received them back yet, but will in a couple days. Where would I find that explanation? Do they include something in the box? Edited by StackerBacker Yesterday 11:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15821 Posts	Posted Today 5H 28M ago Sorry to hear the PCGS wizards disappointed you. Inconsistency in their grading is why I gave up on using them, sold all my Registry coins and have never looked back. Quote: and it's damaged? Where? Anyone else have an idea? Image is way too small for me to weigh in. Hope you can find it when you have the coin in hand. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
LibertyEagle20 Pillar of the Community United States 1256 Posts	Posted Today 2H 45M ago My best guess are the black mark by liberty and around the rims. Doesn't look bad but that's the only thing I see wrong from the pictures. Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5711 Posts	Posted Today 2H 4M ago Hard to see from the photos, but maybe some minimal Wrapping Machine Damage at the top of UNITED? If so, that's incredibly picky on a gorgeous coin. Report this Post to the Staff

adam126402 Pillar of the Community United States 941 Posts	Posted Today 26M ago FC, is that called damage because it's otherwise an unc coin? Would that be considered damage on say an XF or AU coin. And is this also a difference in how the this series is graded compared to say Morgan's for example. Report this Post to the Staff
