too easy jeff ,
I do find that NGC slabs can't hang out with their coin friends, they have to hang out with their other NGC friends.

I might take you up on that offer. I'd like it in a PCGS slab. 13/14 half pennies I have are all PCGS.
Here are pics of the coin.

This coin is a great example of how the US TPG grades differ from the ANDA system.
The bag marks on the obverse would bring this down to Choice UNC, possibly even an UNC depending on the dealer. The Reverse is Gem (imo)
However the great lustre and absolutely glorious mirror surface on the obverse, bring this coin up to an NGC MS65, and possibly a candidate for a PCGS crossover at the same.
if it won't fit, just send it to me. I'm always happy to except lovely coins like that.
Mine's a custom made container and they happily live together

I have an NGC slab box that I got from somewhere. I am slowly filling it up.
Regarding that half penny, based on the images I'd doubt that PCGS would grade it MS65. They are particularly tough on red coins with big bag marks.

Love that box... you make it yourself? Do you take orders?
Seriously though, if I did this to my coins, I'd need to move into Jeff's Shed or something to be able to house them all. NOT gonna happen! ;)
