I'd say NGC missed the most important issue with this coin!

Holder says, UNC details, cleaned.

What that it has no doubt been circulated?

 

Nope. Look closer.

 

Holed, Repaired

 

BINGO!

 

I saw that but wasn't sure if it was a lighting artifact.
And now I see it on the rev also.

 

yup, they were in a coma that day.

or another post-liquid-lunch grading

 

when there are multiple things that would details a coin I wish they'd put them both down

Usually, the most detracting problem is listed because one "Details" can kill it. So the thought is "why kill it 3 - 4 times. I personally list every problem and let the finalizer decide. Generally, the most detracting problem is listed AS IT SHOULD BE.

 

I have no idea what you members are talking about. Would i be able to look it up. Oh top of hat

 

Good job. I think

 

Now that you point it out. Yes it is plain as the nose on your face. As well as a reminder that I really do need to see an eye doctor.

 

I saw the repaired hole before reading the comments, but it took me a second

 

Why not use both adjectives? Plugged, improperly cleaned?

Like this one.

Probably they didn't see it, mistakes happen.
Or just didn't have space on label to write it all..

 

There's more out there, including in straight holders, and let's just say that NGC doesn't hold a monopoly on it.

 

I love that quarter !

 

My example started as an obviously holed coin in an NGC holder, then after repaired detailed by PCGS. I assume "Tooled" includes "holed/ repaired"...





We assume this PCGS example is the source coin for the documented struck fakes... I keep it in the holder with that thought!
