Getting My Draped Bust half graded!!!!!!!

[sscindercoop]

Ive had my half soaking in distilled water for a couple of days to remove the last traces of dirt on it and then I'm sending it out to be graded. I got to see a pcgs AU 53 graded 1803 half and it had less detail then mine so Im hoping mine will get at least that grade, But ya never know. I was wondering if anyone has the Overton book and can help me id the variety. Notice the Die clash on the reverse of the coin that put shield lines on the ear and face on the obverse of the coin. I will be inclosing a note in the shipping box pointing out the die clash so its not overlooked Not that it would be but ya never know. Thanks for looking HH

I frequently submit coins to PCGS. I would say it has AU55 to AU58 details. I am about 75% certain it will grade. They may figure out it was in the ground and call it "Genuine," but it looks like you did an excellent job of conserving the piece without leaving any signs of cleaning or mishandling. The thing that would kill it is if it has micro-corrosion that is visible with a loupe. If there is no sign of corrosion, I think you'll get it graded.

They will even grade some coins with micro corrosion if the coin fits into a certain criteria.
an example are all the 1916-D Mercs you see on here.
we do get quite lucky with silver coinage however, it shows very little if any corrosion as a rule.
