Impossible to even guess a date yet alone a grade with those teeny dark photos.
I would simply ask the seller what PCGS said.

i would never buy a key without better photos even it its slabbed. we have seen TPG's miss on occasion. I tried enhancing the photos but the quality is too poor. based on what I CAN see VG |

I appreciate all your comments and apologize for the poor photos. They're all I had to work with. The coin is graded PCGS VG Details Cleaned and is available from a major dealer at $595. From the pictures I thought the detail looked strong for VG and the price seemed pretty good. Thanks and Merry christmas!

Here's the slab images brightened up a bit and showing the dealers original asking price. Really caught my eye for $595 and appears to be lightly cleaned. Merry Christmas!   |

Must be an old cleaning, it has a decent look now.

I think PCGS made the right call here.

I've seen worse (details cleaned) - I kinda like it for 595$

Don't see the appeal when you can get a straight one for not that much more money.

Don't see the appeal It would make a great album coin and save you about 200$ to boot! Especially if you could talk the seller down even more. Edited by Marv65

Hard pass on a key date problem coin. Spend a little more and get problem free.

I'd crack it out and enjoy it, but the price is a bit high IMO. I have a G-VG details 1877 in my Dansco, it has some light scratches that don't bother me but would keep it out of a straight grade holder.

Difficult to grade from seller's pictures, but from what I can see, looks very attractive.
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."

your photos in the case all too dark to see the surfaces to call cleaned so I have to go with the TPG. maybe it retoned and looks better now. if it does and it was mine i'd consider cracking her out. can you give us a couple photos with a little more lighting which might help. otherwise leave her where she is as it looks like a strong VG |

I think it is graded properly. I have a PCGS slab 1877 graded VG and this coin looks better. I paid $599 for mine, so I think the price is ok. I am not sure what the cleaned coin designation does to value.
