Can you weigh it and verify it's thickness?

 

Its been filed down on the one side so it's pmd no added value

 

Yes to filed down Reverse. PMD - Post Mint Damage.. not an error
Best evidence is that there is no upraised rim as the Obverse side. A blank prestruck Planchet would have a raised rim on both sides. When it's filed down it's eliminated.

 

Thanks, but whats the point of filing down a cent?

 

who knows why anybody does anything

 

Just to mess with you...really.

 

I guess the same point of doing this:

 

It was done by a very bored person!
Whatever you do.. don't send it to NGC for certification.
They will return it back to you just like this -

 

I guess they send it back in that holder becuase you just spent that much money to have crap graded lol

 

Plus can a coin actually be only struck on one side? Don't the die machines (coin presses?) simultaneously strike both sides of the blank planchet at the same time? (Hence the term - simultaneously!)

 

Found this on an Internet page - this is what a one sided coin actually looks like!!

 

I've seen one where the obverse was there but the reverse was completely struck thru grease so it appeared to be struck only on one side but other than that I can't think of another way.

 

Boredom.

 

That must've been a whole lotta grease!!

 

The lure of selling it to a bidiot on the internet is often overwhelming.

I started using the term more than 11 years ago on the NGC forums to circumvent their censorship rules. If I had copyrighted it then, I would probably be spending most of my time in court without collecting a dime on any of the lawsuits I won and probably would not have had the time to reply to your comment.

By the way, some of the other words I "coined" are SleazeBay, FleaBay and SpayPal.

I was joking!

 

I'm not!
