This penny only weighs 2.91 grams. I checked it again and again. I even used some other zinc pennies to make sure the scale was working correctly, and it was because the zinc pennies weighed 2.47 grams. My conclusion is that this 1970 penny is missing its clad layer. However, I'm not sure if it left the mint that way or if the damage occurred afterwards. Thoughts?

You can barely see the five in the date, unless you enlarge the picture. And then you can only see the outline of the five at best. Also, the model on the top edge begins to fade beginning at the U and the letter T is almost non-existent. The rim is strong, so I don't think this is normal wear and tear. Also, it doesn't look like someone did this with a tool. The damage could be from cleaning, but I'm thinking maybe there was some goo on the dye or something. Thoughts?

| Is it possible to open a TPG slab without breaking it? I have some professionally-graded coins for sale, and I'm concerned that people might try to break the coin out, reseal the slab with one of their own coins inside, and send it back for a refund. |

I got this quarter and it's graded PF 69 ultra cameo by NGC.
My first problem is that it does not look ultra cameo. My second problem is that the NGC verification tool shows the reverse image of a Peace Dollar rather than a Washington Quarter. I emailed NGC about the discrepancy with the image but they have yet to reply. I was wondering if any of the experts on this forum could provide any insight. |
