Hi CoinTalk, I won an eBay auction last week, and my order has finally been delivered. I am pretty sure I have found a rare mint error. The assigned grade is AU58, slabbed by a lesser-known TPG, but to my eyes, it looks to be mint. I am considering submitting to a major TPG for grading and error attribution. Overall, I think it’s a pretty sweet piece. There is some nice reddish toning to contrast with the “blast white” appearance. I have uploaded pictures of the obverse and the reverse. For any experts out there, does this look like a rare mint error? It better be, because this puppy sure wasn’t cheap. Thanks! (Happy April 1st!)
Taste it ? I would sniff it first . That's what I learned early on. Ohh get your heads out of the gutter !!This is a 50's site .
looks like intentional damage to me, but the mint luster still appears good. AU58 sounds about right. It's a shame it was mishandled, it looks like it might have cleared mint state 67.
