I see a scratch also.

Daniel

I agree, heavy wear and marks from circulation.

Daniel

I agree, glue.

Daniel

It’s a polished business strike, you can tell by some of the original luster inside the numbers and letters.

Daniel

I agree, vice job using another coin.

Daniel

This is a normal weight for a coin with this circulation.

Daniel

This is a post mint compression damage and is either corroded or has pits in the reverse.

Daniel

This coin has an obverse delamination and environmental damage, so it’s not worth sending off.

Daniel

Paul is correct, your seeing something post mint.

Daniel

The edge has been post mint rolled flat so it’s not an error.

Daniel

I recommend using Heritage sold auctions but it’s really all guesswork based on a similar, already sold out examples.

Daniel

Nope, the cost of grading is worth more than the coin. I recommend using a coin price guide.

Daniel

Looks like a delamination that has worn down from circulation.

Here's a video I did on this subject.

Daniel

True view images are not an accurate description of a coin 80% of the time. Also, you can download larger images to share here. Your image here isn't large enough to be certain why PCGS thought it was questionable.

Daniel

I will respond to this, but like Earle said, we only want one coin per topic. Thanks.

You didn't do anything wrong and we're looking at images. Maybe try to send them to another company or have someone examine in hand, they're nice coins, but some are questionably toned.

Welcome to the community!

We can tell you that, the restoration is a consultation service first, they determine if it can be conserved so this question cannot be answered here. It takes lots of education, experience and seeing a coin in hand for conservation.

Daniel

I just talked with my friend Greg, he was a dealer I befriended at the shows, but he is now a coin grader for NGC. Here is what he said. So please drop the fake news references. It’s ironic he mentioned 30 seconds, maybe more, but still, this is being said all across the industry. I know a lot of co...

Daniel

I agree, acid damaged.

Daniel

When someone states they don’t trust their dealers but don’t know the coin minting process nor what a proof is, then I decline to help. The dealers are telling you the truth, but for that you mistrust them or you assume they can’t be trusted. No cool. Just ask about your coins. Thanks

Daniel

This was cause by angled contact that damaged the I.

Daniel

I agree, but in addition looks like plating issues.

Daniel

Please do NOT post your coin twice. You already got help for this coin the day before. Thanks

Daniel

No, it’s post mint environmental damage.

Daniel

Glad you weighed it.

Daniel

It’s been cleaned in the past.

Daniel

This is my coin I bought in a collection, I was just using it as an educational piece and to show I have this coin in my hand and it is indeed NOT a variety or mint error.

Daniel

My coin here, I own it and just using it for educational purposes, it is not listed at ebay. This is how it starts at ebay, someone finds a coin like this and think that the mouth area had to happen during the coin minting process. This person will not accept anything but what they think and they p...

"The "30 Second Coin Grading Claim" to be FAKE NEWS." Quote Eztocoin As I told you, it depends on the coin. Larger coins take less than 30 seconds, some coins require more time, but it's not going to be several minutes. I know this for a fact, it's NOT fake news. You can take it ...

Daniel

I agree, environmental damage.

Daniel

Your scales might be rounding up from 2.5 grams. Does it weigh in tenths? I use a jeweler's scale.

Daniel

I too have talked to coin graders, one is still working at NGC, others have worked for both, some are now dealers. It is a fact they spend less than a half minute on common coins. It can be verified.

Daniel

You can't restore copper cents, if you do then they will be considered damaged or questionable and will not grade straight. Acetone will not hurt, but acetone only removes PVC residue, tape or glue.

Daniel

Do you really know the difference between a die gouge, Struck Through or scratch? Many people don't know and this video will help explain it.

Daniel

Daniel

Coins tone and wear differently and can tone in several different hues and colors, nothing about this coin leads me to think it's special in any way. The surface was more than likely messed with or was exposed to something to cause this.

Daniel

I do not see a doubled ear or hair in the images provided.

Daniel

No it does not but no one can tell you insider PCGS secrets unless they work there, I don't care if one has sent a million coins to PCGS for grading, you still would be guessing unless you worked for PCGS.
