That is the sellers grading service? Doesn't matter, the coin has been harshly cleaned and is XF details at best. An easy coin to avoid...
That's a nice off center. They are not extremely rare, but very unusual to find in circulation.
I don't think that the reholdering fee is the same as the grading fee. It has been a while since I sent one in for reholdering, but I get them...
O man that sucks!!! I'm glad that you didn't loose your passion.
Sorry, I wasn't trying to be rude. I realize that it came off that way, but there was a Lincoln cent "error" thread yesterday that looked fairly...
