The scratches on the reverse are on the holder. The coin is in a problem free slab... I should have mentioned this when I posted the coin.

VF35 cleaned and scratched.
Nevertheless, still a desirable coin

I think most of the reverse problems are a cracked slab, a shame since it's one of the new ones. Hard as I try, I just can't reach VF35 for it but doubt it's a Details coin. Call it VF30.

PCGS graded this VF35 Problem Free. It is a no details coin. SuperDave was right when saying all reverse scratches are on the slab.

Scratches? Always a possibility when photographing a permanently cased coin. Plastic is even softer than metal. Next thing we will have to find out is how to grade slabs!  And how to protect and store them.  |

Isn't there something out there that removes scratches from slabs?

Usually I can see the shadow of the slab scratch, this one threw me off. First guess was VF35, but I think it also looked liked an old cleaning I didn't think PCGS would count, so I lowered my grade guess by 5 points due to that. At a clean grade on the slab I would still think this coin should be slightly discounted a little bit due to the darkness of color and the slightly rough surfaces.

I am going to take a picture of the reverse from a different angle so everyone can see the scratches are on the slab soon.

This isn't a series I study, but I think PCGS got the grade right. It doesn't look cleaned to me, just looks like the typical surfaces of a mid-grade circulated coin. I can also tell that the mark on the reverse is on the slab, not the coin. The dark line is a shadow, if you look closely one can see the scratch on the plastic itself, slightly above the dark line. I like the coin.

If the slab is cracked, could you send it in to get reholdered?
