   Please note that the NGC Registry forum is for topics regarding the NGC Registry. Questions of this nature should be posted on the "Newbie Coin Collecting Questions" forum.

   I checked this item on NGC Certificate Verification. NGC found it to be "damaged to resemble error", correctly I think.  This is a good example of why you should learn how to identify likely genuine and significant mint errors before spending your hard-earned money sending them to grading services. NGC's examination of this worthless piece would have cost $45 in grading, error identification and PhotoVision fees alone ($19+$18+$8), plus its share of the processing and shipping costs on the order in which it was included.

   To learn about mint errors, see resources such as the following:
