Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 07/02/2016 8:02 pm PCGS isn't perfect. We see slabbing errors here from time to time -- and I don't just mean a different opinion about the coin's grade. However, old coins that have been circulated often have dates that get damaged and worn.....so a nice close-up of the date would help -- as well as pics of both sides of the coin. Keep trying to get those pics. Report this Post to the Staff
