Looks like somone put it on a grinder.
Most common are the early "S" mint coins in that grade. Pricing will depend on the coin. Be picky. Just because it has a CAC sticker doesn't...
And that is all that matters!
Unfortunately no. I didn't expect it, but was hoping.
At a 30K foot level, I agree with what you are saying. There are people in the hobby who use the TPG's and the stickers from CAC etal, to...
I know you're not a big proof fan, but both business strikes and proofs can be equally beautiful IMO.

Why do your final pictures show more of the defects on the coin than the originals posted?
Funny you posted this because I was just on the VAM World site looking to see if my most recent addition ('78-S) was a VAM. I agree with Chris,...
Okay, I know I said I was on a coin buying hiatus, but when browsing for NGC star coins, I found this one. I think it's undergraded and from the...
Yep. He had those settings down. Once he removed the rim from the quarter, it was a nice tight fit inside that golden dollar.
