Awesome Coin!! (thumbs u

 

I would say VF-35.

Looks like it might have some ED, especially on the reverse. The part I'm concerned about is on the reverse inside the wreath near the O and C of ONE CENT. And again around the ST of STATES.

It has AU sharpness, but some corrosion has been skillfully removed from both the obverse and reverse. Most of the more serious damage is on the reverse. I'd net grade it to the VF-30 to 35 range. It's still a very nice example of a difficult type.

 

The coin would get a "genuine" grade from PCGS, and a net grade under the new NGC system.

At least an XF 45 details wise , looks like some pitting on the reverse and minor damage near the ear. Regardless it is a nice coin .

Sharpness of XF-45, I would take 10 points off for environmental damage, and 5 points off for surface alteration to arrive at a net EAC 30.

XF-40 details, NET-30

It looks like an AU coin with a few problems, but a net grade of XF wouldn't bother me.

Sent my 1810 S-285 Classic Large Cent to NGC and it just arrived yesterday. It is in the traditional holder. I was surprised it wasn't in the new three pronged holder.

Considering that this is an issue well known for being struck on inferior planchets, I'm not surprised that it graded problem free with no net grade. The corrosion might have been there before striking. I'm not saying I would grade it that high, I'm just not surprised by it. I wold have to see the coin in hand to determine if it was a bagable offense.

You received a good grade, I am surprised they did not give you an edge view holder. I know I asked for an edge view when I sent a coin in for a re holder a few months ago.

I think it is very interesting that you got a regular holder. This is a very good thing, in my book.
