Could this possibly be an error ? Something like a light strike/weak strike or is it just worn down ? The lettering looks sharp, so i doubt only the center would be gone after circulation.
Sometimes this happens . Weak center better everywhere else. If it were a weak strike it would show all over in my opinion . Nice Coin by the way and Welcome to Coin Talk !
Agree for the most part with @SensibleSal66. For me, this has always been the hardest thing to identify/assess about coin condition/grading...wear or strike issues and which is it. Easier or harder depending on the coin...I've learned more in my 8 months here at CT than in my previous 60 years of amateur, on/off-again collecting.
The highest points on the coin are going to show more circulation wear than lower ones, so I am not surprised at how the coin looks. No error in my opinion, for what it's worth.
Your opinion is worth a lot Mountain Man, I agree with your assessment. In any event Kokotko, I like the coin. Thanks for sharing it.
