Nic Pillar of the Community Philippines 1156 Posts	Posted 11/07/2012 8:53 pm I am very interested in a Russian Nicholas rouble in a PCGS slab at ebay. on the obverse it reads: "PCGS Cleaning- XF details" on the reverse it reads: "Genuine Not Gradable" just curious- why is there a grade of "XF", then on the same breath, it's "Not Gradable"? thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Williamsonj320 Pillar of the Community United States 538 Posts	Posted 11/08/2012 01:00 am I think it refers to the fact that there is no numeric value grade given. Basically they looked at and decided if not for the cleaning it would probably have been graded somewhere in the XF range but they don't bother looking beyond that to pinpoint it to a specific grade because of the cleaning. Someone please correct me if I am wrong. Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 11/08/2012 01:19 am Williamsonj320 is correct. Not Gradable means the coin would not (in this case did not) grade because of problems. The implication is that a coin with problems is Not Gradable. NGC assigns Details grades in the same manner as PCGS. ANACS does assign numeric grades for problem coins but the principle is the same.

basebal21 Bedrock of the Community 13014 Posts	Posted 11/08/2012 3:53 pm Its about 17 for their postage, 8 dollars per order plus your postage and the service level. Depending on the coin the service level can be anywhere from 14-30 dollars for the lowest and can get up to 100 dollars or so if you basically want over night grading Report this Post to the Staff
