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

Bugger I didnt see that

[wwwww]

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?

[stevo1962]

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:

[echidna]

Very hard to predict
one day they will grade it
next day no

[ausjack]

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.

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