oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 06/22/2012 08:54 am I purchased this Large Cent that was body bagged by NGC with a purple "illegible date" insert, by I managed to get an image of the date (obviously it's an 1800 not a 1798). Do you think that any of the Top III TPG would accept an image to go along with the "illegible date" coin (re)submittal? Edited by oih82w8 06/22/2012 2:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 06/22/2012 12:11 pm I do not think it would be worthwhile to submit it again, it is in Fair-2 condition and would only be worth ~$20. Report this Post to the Staff

oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 06/22/2012 2:01 pm Thanks, I can certainly understand that. Someone mentioned a "Low Ball" set in another thread and got me thinking about this one. What I meant was would the TPGers even consider an image that went along with the coin that they could not previously identify...kinda like "I found the date, why couldn't you...the paid professional?"

basebal21 Bedrock of the Community 13014 Posts	Posted 06/22/2012 2:45 pm I would say they wouldnt care about any pictures since they have the actual coin in hand. Always better to see it in person than a picture. As far as that one goes it does look like an 1800 but in all fairness you cant say that with 100 percent certainty Report this Post to the Staff
donkrx Valued Member United States 227 Posts	Posted 06/24/2012 05:05 am Looked like 1800 to me instantly before I read your OP... at minimum it is not 17-anything, I dont know where they see that. I can see the 3rd number being possibly a 9 or something, but clearly the second number is an 8... I dont have the coin in hand but that's what I'd say. Still, I don't think they are too far out of line saying the date is illegible... I mean is there some reason that we know for sure its 1800, some diagnostic with the coin or date itself? To me it seems likely but not quite 100% certain. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 06/24/2012 05:32 am You posted this before I believe. Leave it, and don't re-submit. I think it's an 1800...who knows. Like biokemist6 stated, not worth that much...FR2 swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
