I just spent a few months worth of coin money on some harder coins for my half set and Trade dollar set. Plus some trades on some of my Morgan's I had. Nothing high end but I'll upgrade as I can. Here is the first one. A raw 74cc half that came in with a collection including the other raw stuff I picked up. I am not great at grading these halves though I love them. I'll be sending a group of halves into NGC soon I think. As PCGS has me scratching my head a lot lately. Any thoughts on this? I personally think it will straight grade AG-3   |

Don't think so. I'll say AG details (scratched), if there is such a grade.

I can agree it has some scratches
It could detail but such a low grade key date not sure what they will say. Price was good

The only truly scarce arrows half -- nice find. It might even straight grade (though probably not), and if it does it is easily G4.
TPGs usually won't detail incidental scratches that are shorter & shallower than a particular standard. The only scratch that might snag a details grade is that long one across the chest. If that happens ... Good (Details).
Definitely worth slabbing.

Send it in, I'd be very interested to see their opinion.

It could easily go both ways. It could get the details grade or it won't.
Errers and Varietys.

G4 and when you compare it to photograde its really close to G6
tough call on details. if it grades a 4 probably gets a details grade. if AG they may pass it.
really interested when you get this one back

G details scratched
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Looks G-4 details to me. Those obverse marks won't let it straight grade.

The number and severity of obverse scratches, damage, graffiti could not allow a straight grade. Not with a straight face anyway!
AG Details - Damaged would be my guess.
