OneDollarMule Valued Member Australia 338 Posts	Posted 03/14/2016 09:20 am Hi Everyone, Curious to see what people think this coin would grade as: Will be sent to PCGS but a bit of speculation is always welcome! Report this Post to the Staff

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 03/14/2016 10:21 am I almost never try grading non-US coins. The standards are different. I find ICCS grades about ½ to 1 grade lower than NGC or PCGS. Report this Post to the Staff

trout1105 Pillar of the Community Australia 7096 Posts	Posted 03/14/2016 6:34 pm Can't see any wear from your images so I am guessing MS63BR. Very nice coin and you don't see many of these in this condition, Well done Report this Post to the Staff
stevo1962 Pillar of the Community Australia 908 Posts	Posted 03/14/2016 6:38 pm I'll say PCGS MS63RB minimum and worth a lot of money Report this Post to the Staff
OneDollarMule Valued Member Australia 338 Posts	Posted 03/14/2016 8:17 pm Thanks guys, I was hoping for an MS62RB when I bought it so if it comes back MS63/64 that would be pretty awesome. Will post the results when they come through! Report this Post to the Staff
OneDollarMule Valued Member Australia 338 Posts	Posted 04/29/2016 11:32 pm Grade came back - very surprised they body bagged it! Genuine UNC Details (98 - Damage) I'm at a loss why Report this Post to the Staff
stevo1962 Pillar of the Community Australia 908 Posts	Posted 04/30/2016 04:34 am Crack it out and send it to the United States instead of Hong Kong and you may get a better result Report this Post to the Staff
squaremealroundplate Valued Member Australia 185 Posts	Posted 04/30/2016 05:57 am OneDollarMule Nice sharp featured coin, but the obverse rim looks a bit jaggered especially at 11 o'clock. Unfortunately, its had a fair dipping at sometime during its journey and there has been a minor attempt made to hide the dipping. Soaked copper coins in Coca Cola use to look like your Penny, and if any copper coin was left in the Coca Cola too long - overnight - , the copper coin would turn a very bright, light whitish coppery colour.

Cockatoo_coins Valued Member Australia 56 Posts	Posted 04/30/2016 07:08 am Only time they grade in Hong Kong is during shows and fly in US graders, outside of the shows they don't grade there just onship to the states. Report this Post to the Staff
OneDollarMule Valued Member Australia 338 Posts	Posted 04/30/2016 08:38 am Thanks for the feedback. The coin was sent directly to the US. Whats interesting is that the coin was not graded UNC details - altered surface or rim damage but rather just "damage". I'll have to wait until it comes back but there was no sign of dipping/retouching of the surface that I can recall. Bit of an odd call from PCGS, I'll land up resubmitting it down the track. The coin is quite dark, the PCGS image is a bit over exposed with the actual colour far closer to my original pictures (it was also given a BN designation). Report this Post to the Staff
