Bilbo Pillar of the Community United States 812 Posts	Posted 11/06/2007 8:30 pm I'll say VF-25 on the large cent. F-15 on the Two Cent Piece. Report this Post to the Staff

nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 11/07/2007 03:47 am Your 2 Cent is a weak strike but even so from the pics I would have a hard time giving it anything above a VG10 The new ANA grading guide might call it an F12-15 but not me. Anyway its your coin so you are perfectly entitled to call it what you will... Report this Post to the Staff
Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3234 Posts	Posted 11/07/2007 5:43 pm 2-cent is F15, possible VF20. 1-cent would body bag for cleaning (and retoned), but VF+ details. Report this Post to the Staff
NumisMattyUk Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2217 Posts	Posted 11/08/2007 07:59 am Hehe.. a few controversial things being said about my little coins here.. body bagging for cleaning?! - bah.. least I am not guilty of doing that!... darn those previous owners for doing this...I still don't think she would quite "boby-bag" however..oh, my poor dead Lady!! Personally, I like Bilbo's initial analysis but I would say the 2 cent is only an F-12. We all have different opinions, so very true in this case... Report this Post to the Staff

For non-Americans, a bit is probably lost in translation so to speak. If you were to send that coin in to PCGS, NGC, or ICG, it would be returned in a little plastic bag ungraded and unslabbed for cleaning, hence the term "body bag" ANACS will slab a coin with problems such as cleaning and NGC has a sister company call Numismatic Conservation Services that will also slab problem coins but they have to be submitted to NCS and not NGC.

NumisMattyUk Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2217 Posts	Posted 11/08/2007 08:59 am Oh yes I understood what you meant (that being that problems caused by the evils of cleaning detract from overall grade and I agree with this thinking) but I was just referring to the fact it's still a good grade nonetheless Body bagging seems a little negative in this case :</ Edited by NumisMattyUk 11/08/2007 09:12 am Report this Post to the Staff
