Canadian-Banknotes Pillar of the Community Canada 4944 Posts	Posted 02/25/2013 8:25 pm I wonder why the seller originally had it graded by CCCS. You don't see too many American coins graded by them. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 02/25/2013 8:48 pm I actually purchased this coin last year raw from that seller tangjoc as a BIN for an amount I won't divulge but I will tell you this. When I got the coin in hand, I felt it was not authentic. The thickness of the planchet was half that of a genuine Chain Cent of this level of preservation. I did not like the pinkish color and the Chain seemed to be "sunk" slightly into the coin. I highly doubted this coins authenticity and am very surprised PCGS authenticated it I have since acquired a much nicer Chain Cent, in my opinion, that PCGS has graded PO01. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 02/25/2013 9:29 pm Idle question - if the planchet were much too thin, wouldn't the fit in the PCGS slab be problematic? Report this Post to the Staff
