CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 06/02/2020 11:49 pm So this is a coin I posted a while ago. While admiring it some time ago, I noticed a scratch. While I planned to slab it, I am now worried it may come back detailed and I am rethinking the slab . The scratch is only visible with an angled light source, and is very light. Any opinions? -CH27 Angled light to show scratch: Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Edited by CoinHunter27 06/02/2020 11:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff

It looks like another scratch. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Edited by CoinHunter27 06/03/2020 12:05 am Report this Post to the Staff
westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7621 Posts	Posted 06/03/2020 02:14 am Will the scratch detail it? It might...only one way to find out. The rim Cud on the obverse above "STATES" is kinda cool! Report this Post to the Staff
hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7276 Posts	Posted 06/03/2020 08:20 am There is also a litter Verdigris on the back. Considering the state and cost of this coin, why are you even considering slabbing it?

Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 06/03/2020 11:06 am Toss up in my book on the details. But like others said, I would not send it in. If it straight grades, F15-VF20 IMO. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 06/03/2020 11:43 am Thanks everyone. I forgot to mention that the coin is Snow-4 FS-101, a very difficult doubled die to track down. That was why I wanted to Slab it. It looks like I may not be doing that now. Thanks again! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
