I'm edging towards yes, but is it a big scratch in the robes?

Bugger I didnt see that
It's a planchet fault in the robes, PCGS won't slab it with that but it's certainly uncirculated.
pcgs won't slabb planchet flaws?
Who would have thought that PCGS actually do grade planchet flaws

Perhaps you were lucky, I've had a very nice coin knocked back for what I would say was a minor planchet flaw.....
I have an Australian copper coin graded by PCGS with a decent planchet flaw so it isn't a rare thing :ok:
Very hard to predict
one day they will grade it
next day no
gee I wish they be a bit more consistent as it makes it hard to know what will or won't grade.
Its all about how much effect the planchet flaw has as a whole. A 5mm planchet flaw on a penny in a non-obstrusive area is going to get graded, perhaps a 5mm flaw on the kings face isn't, and a 5mm flaw on a tiny coin like a maundy or a threepence probably isn't either. Regardless, they are going to net grade a coin with planchet flaws (and carbon streaks and other imperfections). Which they have most certainly done here.
Here is My 1945-Y 1/2d that graded PCGS at MS62BN that I won at auction on Numisbid .

Thanks for posting. I would never have sent a coin like that for grading, I'll have a rethink now.
