Tryna Pillar of the Community United States 937 Posts	Posted 01/09/2015 4:22 pm So where does PCGS draw the line to be called ungradable? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1932-S-Wash...t_454wt_1106 Normally I do not even give heavily circulated Washingtons a second glance but the description got me. It looks like it has been harshly cleaned and the wear is uneven and the color is awful. So why is not detail graded? Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 01/09/2015 4:27 pm That coin was slabbed before PCGS issued "Details" grades, hence the GENUINE notation with no listed Sheldon grade. Prior to the GENUINE notation, PCGS would bodybag(ungradable) problem coins but that made no logical sense at all since a coin should be gradable based on the remaining details as long as it can be positively indentified.

amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 01/09/2015 4:34 pm Looka at it this way....you can not assign a "grade" to something that is "un gradable". See the decimal point the two numbers after that are the problem code. http://www.pcgs.com/grades/ 92 means cleaned. ...just tells you they are genuine.

Tryna Pillar of the Community United States 937 Posts	Posted 01/09/2015 4:35 pm I see. You can tell my knowledge of plastic holders is not extensive. When I do buy them it is not long before I help the coin escape! Report this Post to the Staff
amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 01/09/2015 4:45 pm I hear ya Tryna! I collect almost exclusively old coppers so not so much plastic here either. Yet, How did G.I. say it..... "Knowing is half the battle" Report this Post to the Staff
