Looks XF at best to me.

 

Mechanical Error. PCGS seems to make a lot of them.

I'm grabbing my popcorn just in case, your threads of this nature always tend to get interesting.

 

Looks more VF to me.

 

Ummmm...... not quite.

 

AU50 with no diamonds in the ribbon???

 

Both a mint error and a PCGS mechanical error! Two errors for the price of one!

I kid i kid

 

So you guy really think that circulated significantly to be xf, think about it.....

 

Wow... that’s a big miss.

 

What are you getting at? Do explain.

 

I was wondering the same thing. I think he meant there’s no way it’s XF, but I can’t be sure based on the wording.

 

Popcorn's good Seattle. You should have some.

 

He’s saying it could not have possibly circulated down to XF levels before being pulled from circulation, again completely ignoring the coin itself. Also being ignored is the large amount of a green substance on the coin’s surface

I have two words to respond: pocket piece.

 

I don't think the coin had much detail from the day it was struck. Could someone explain the Indent second strike part. Second blank being feed to the chamber?

 

I considered that possibility, but there is no luster and too much verdigris for a problem-free AU grade.

That is my thought

 

I think XF is very generous. Look at the reverse. In early copper, we almost never see these kinds of errors in anything but well-circulated condition. I don't get why people think it couldn't have circulated. It was worth the same in commerce with or without the indent.

 

VF, all day

 

You guys are being generous, IMO.
