KerryKz Pillar of the Community United States 586 Posts	Posted 08/08/2022 12:19 pm Where do coins land on grading when there's such a difference on the two sides? Is the lower grade the final number? Report this Post to the Staff

TobyJ Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1273 Posts	Posted 08/08/2022 12:27 pm I believe this one would be a details grade due to the huge scratch to the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 08/08/2022 12:37 pm Agree, G/VG details (gouged). Report this Post to the Staff
KerryKz Pillar of the Community United States 586 Posts	Posted 08/08/2022 9:19 pm So I mnow the gouge fetracts. But it is on the back.. So with details grade. Would you even value it at g4? Trying to start cataloging some of my mess. Coinfrog. I'm writing down whatever you guess. Best estimate Report this Post to the Staff
CoinEnthusiast Valued Member United States 485 Posts	Posted 08/08/2022 9:32 pm I would think that the coin would grade out with VG-8 details (damage/scratch). There's obviously the reverse scratch, but the coin also has a scratch at about 4 O'Clock on the obverse, as well as what appears to potentially be some damage just to the left of the date. I'm not trying to discourage you at all, but I personally would value the coin at about $5. You might find someone willing to pay higher, but the coin's eye appeal is below what most collectors are looking for. Report this Post to the Staff
jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 08/08/2022 10:20 pm I net grade coins when cataloging my collection. This one I'd say AG-3. That reverse is pretty ugly.

Kopper Ken Pillar of the Community United States 3402 Posts	Posted 08/09/2022 07:47 am The gouge detracts too much...it's not very suttle...obverse is a Good. KK Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18649 Posts	Posted 08/09/2022 08:08 am I dont believe a TPG would assign a numerical grade to this coin. when they assign a numerical grade they are actually assigning a value range to the coin. depending on the TPG I think they would either grade it at a net AG3 details (which I doubt) or G details(damaged) Report this Post to the Staff
