HumblePie Pillar of the Community United States 1217 Posts	Posted 08/27/2021 6:50 pm I would like to hear some thoughts on where this Cent could Grade. It came out of a really old flip that was falling apart, excuse the left behind paper/lint. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 08/27/2021 7:21 pm Personally, F-15. Most will probably say VF-20. Report this Post to the Staff

Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 08/27/2021 9:02 pm Looks pretty darn close to the 08-S I just posted, so I'm at F15, possibly VF20, but will have to agree with TBop, Details, obv damage. Report this Post to the Staff

farrider11 Pillar of the Community United States 614 Posts	Posted 08/27/2021 10:33 pm I think Coinfrog is correct, I'm a stickler for straight grading, I dunno why, just am. Report this Post to the Staff

HumblePie Pillar of the Community United States 1217 Posts	Posted 08/28/2021 08:51 am Yes it is Smat45, that is the only reason I bought the Cent with the damage. Snow-8, NGC FS-301, PCGS FS-401. Looks like I can safely put F15 Details/Damage on my holder for future reference. Thanks Guys! Edited by HumblePie 08/28/2021 09:19 am Report this Post to the Staff

HumblePie Pillar of the Community United States 1217 Posts	Posted 08/28/2021 09:46 am As a student of Grading, just curious. For those who see VF, would it be because you think LIBERTY was just weakly struck and looks F15, but the rest of the details looks VF? Thanks for any feedback. Report this Post to the Staff

Jerry Picker Valued Member United States 480 Posts	Posted 09/16/2021 4:46 pm Net Fine, too many serious hits. I saw the MPD right away. I had an AU58 example at one time. Report this Post to the Staff
