So what's the grade on this coin? A very red penny and a very brown penny for RD/RB/BN determination. Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15403 Posts	Posted 06/29/2023 05:55 am I say VF30/35 details due to the obverse scratches. Color is definitely BN as I see no evidence of any remaining red surfaces. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6491 Posts	Posted 06/29/2023 11:12 am Yeah, I had wondered if that scratch was enough to kick it into Details grade. A pity, as a 1944-D LWC FS-101 in VG30-35 would be worth something. Maybe only a burrito at Wawa, but then again, Wawa burritos are delicious. =) Thanks for the help, guys! I had made my guess at VF30 using PCGS Photograde, so at least my grading skills are improving. In order to extract the knowledge value: where is the approximate cut line for Details due to damage? If the scratch were smaller, for example, would that pass? If this knowledge exists somewhere already (almost a certainty), I will happily read articles or watch videos. Report this Post to the Staff

I dont think there is a definitive cut line. one thing for certain...if the scratch displaces metal its going to considered damaged and this one does PCGS video on damaged coin grading nzpruoHc3g4 Report this Post to the Staff
