Smb740 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 This thing is all jacked up! I wonder if the mint did it?!!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 It wasn’t done at the mint, it is a defective planchet from the manufacturer. It is called a lamination due to contamination is the alloy. The reverse looks like a partial grease filled die. Still would have a small premium for an error collector.

Correct, the coin is not worth having graded. You would never recoup the grading fees.

powermad5000 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 If the coin was in better shape, you might stand a chance. The reverse has a corrosion spot developing on it already and it has long lost its red color. One has to remember that error collectors, while a niche in the hobby itself, also view the coin for its condition. If an error is considered more "common", and the coin is in not good condition, they are not going to be willing to pay any premium for it. Even error collectors look for coins in good condition just like regular collectors do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
