I have to agree with the others - this looks like a poor quality cast counterfeit.
Looks like a poor quality cast fake of a Netherlands coin.
The coin shown exhibits a very minor die chip. If you can come up with a fancy name and market it you could probably sell it for about a billion...
Before I made my post, I compared your coin to all of the examples in the Heritage archives (about 12 coins). These range in grade all the way...
I'd probably call it AU-50. That represents a silent downgrade for a few reasons: the strike is really not good (especially in the dentilation),...
That's a fairly common form of post-mint damage. Students in machine shop class will take a lathe and remove the reverse of the coin. It is not a...

I have no doubts about the authenticity of this piece (unless it is a high quality Chinese fake - which is absolutely possible). However, the...
I'd call the OP's coin an attractive slider. It looks properly graded at 58, based on those pictures.
Hmm... yes, now that I see the pictures, I agree that this is not significant enough to be designated as an error. This is a very small...
That is an approach I would STRONGLY advise against. You may have had success with it in the past, but for most people, they will wind up with...
