Looks like someone spilled milk on the holder.

Still, though, I wouldn't trust an ICG grade.

ICG = I Can't Grade
NTC = Not This Coin (as in, "there is an MS65 out there, just not this coin")
NNC = Nutso Numismatist Centsles
SGS = Stupid Grading Service

I don't know what I'm doing, but apart from wear, the scratches, and the hole in the middle, it looks OK... PF70++++ DCAM.

I hope that didn't affect the coin.

Who would buy that coin when the only important part of the scans is completely black?  |

Well, I suppose the seller can use that method to his advantage. Take a completely worthless coin, slap it in a semi-professional 2x2 with a grade of VF, do that to the pictures, and see what happens on ebay. |

The picture is part of the description, so the grade of VF is implied. Although that's subjective, the buyer could send it back if it's not as described. However, I wouldn't chance $16 on the prospect of probably having to send it back on 1857 Flying Eagle cent but I would on an 1877 cent. |
