Thanks for the responses so far. The only U.S. coin I have purchased in an NNC slab, an 1804 Half Cent, was returned because it had damage that didn't show in the photo. I stay away from their U.S. slabs, but was curious about this one. I have bought ancient Roman coins in NNC holders, because in the past they sometimes misattributed a coin and you could pick up something nicer they didn't know about. I once got a coin of the scarcer emperor Allectus misidentified as the emperor Aurelian. They both start with "A", you know. Paul Bulgerin

Since I can see a "+" after where the grade is blacked out, I think that NNC graded it MS69+.  |

The rim on the reverse at the 9:30 to 10:00 position appears to be damaged/bent. The coin appears AU but is missing that little "Details - Damaged" note on the label that every legitimate grading service would give it. NNC is not an ebay approved grading service so he gets around it by blacking out his inflated grade on the label. Remember, Centsles and NNC are one and the same and have been called out many times on many numismatic forums for a very long time. Always remember to ask yourself "why is this coin NOT in a legitimate slab?" before parting with your hard earned money! If you cannot answer that question then don't buy the coin! |

Too bad about the rim hit.

I don't think that would keep this from a straight holder.

AU-58, with no call on surface originality.

Going by the photos, looks cleaned, IMO.

Definitely need to see in hand, before making a final determination.
Excellent detail on this coin though.

I hope the buyer got a good deal. Just assume if it's NNC, it's got problems. The black out the number grade on ebay, because they aren't recognized as legit. |

58 with slightly weakly struck reverse
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

At AU-58 that wasn't such a great deal.
