Nope. It's damaged, and it looks to have verdigris on it.

 

Did either of you guys notice the reverse? lol

 

I was looking at the off-center so much that I skipped over the spelling! lol

I remember, years ago, Conder101 showed one of these graded via PCGS with Tooled on the insert on the PCGS Coin forum. Kind of a net graded coin- such as PCGS really dones't do, as a matter of policy.

 

I believe it belonged (or, still does) to Fred Weinberg.

 

So, when I stumbled upon this raw example I knew I had to add it to the collection!

The one that Braddick mentioned was an uncirculated 1854 and it was NOT marked tooled on the insert. What it was was a slabbing error. If you looked at the serial number it didn't have a grade after the decimal point. Instead it had the 98 code for an altered coin. It was supposed to have been bodybagged but the put it in a slab by mistake. It doesn't happen often but I have seen a few of them. I do still have the pictures but I won't post them openly. If someone wants to see it PM me and I'll send you a link.

Wow! That's all I can say. Wow!

 

Okay. I'm back now. I think ANACS is the way to go with this one. I wonder if it could be attributed without the date showing.

 

I don't believe that ANACS is doing problem coins anymore. At Long Beach I heard they had stopped and ICG had started. And just yesterday I saw a coin ANACS had bodybagged instead of slabbed in a problem coin slab.

Not sure but I saw an ad a few weeks ago. I thought it was ICG. I know it wasn't ANACS , PCGS or NGC.

 

I will look iy up later or perhaps somebody else here knows but the ad stated either that there was no charge or a maximum $5.00 charge for a bagged coin.

That was ICG, but now that all ex-ANACS people are ICG, they will be doing the problem coin grading instead of ANACS.

 

ANACS (ex-ICG) people don't like the problem coin grading system and are/have dropped it.

Exactly. Which is why this was really dumb for ANACS but great for ICG.

Maybe ANACS will make more money with their new business strategy?
