I think it is accurate. The damamge is present that would prevent a clean graded bill of health for such a coin.
Nice key date but dare I say the words.....Unfortunatley yes it is and should be classified as a "problem coin"
Still enjoyable. And a nice coin to have in a set.

I agree. Damaged or not, it is still a key date and there will always be someone willing to use it to complete their set.

Is the straw that broke the camel's back the marks on the center of the reverse? Quote:

I've been wrestling with with the idea of having mine graded...it's a similar grade to this one, but without damage. It lives in a complete Dansco set now, and it would be hard for me to crack it right back out to put back into its home. Quite a quandary. I took it to my dealer and he looked at it under a scope, his opinion is that it mine is the real deal. |

I was disappointed in the graded damage part of it. I really can't complain much about something that was found in my grandmas coin purse. I'm sure they didn't know what it was.
The guy at the coin / pawn shop that sent it in for grade said he would give me $375.00 for it but I could get $700 for it on the Web LOL. I also heard one of the other guys at the coin / pawn shop tell a customer that silver was getting hard to find for sale.

From what the dealer told me, it because of being worn and that's what the grader is doing now.

The dealer that told you that is clueless, the level of wear has absolutely nothing to do with the no-grade. However, the various small gouges and scratches are what resulted in the no-grade, it would probably make G4 without the damage or AG3 if they were having a bad day. I do believe that PCGS has tightened their definition of "damage" now that they have the genuine slabs so that a low grade coin with very minor problems that may have squeaked by previously will almost certainly get the GENUINE treatment now.

You're right the guy works for a Pawn / coin shop, I didn't expect much. I just took it there because PCGS certification. They told my Uncle his Rolex band wasn't real gold and my AU early 1800 half eagles were worth spot price lol. It doesn't really matter what they told me, people are in there by the herds, selling things for what ever they could get for them.
