It's certainly not unusual.
I'd say the NGC coin is in a Details slab, if it's not I'll be surprised. And I prefer the coin in the PCGS slab. As for grade, I'd give it a 65....
Howdy Epi - Welcome to the Forum ! You asked a simple question. Well the answer is a simple one too - you don't. But the explanation for that...
The only reason I commented was because of what you said about it not being legal when it is. But if you have other concerns about selling them...

It's pretty well documented that adjustment also occurred after striking, with silver coins. And more than that, it is logical that they occurred...
