Filled die would be my guess.
Looks like it.
I understand your frustration KLJ, but your comment is not accurate. The top TPGs all use multiple graders for every coin, usually 3 plus a...
Floyd - I do believe you are referring to the Prestige sets issued in the '90s. The sets came in a folder that opened like a book and inside...
I used to, when I collected US coins - but no longer.
If the coin is bent the pics certainly don't show any indication of it - so it's hard to say what another TPG might do. But NGC's action is...
Leave it to our government to contradict themselves. For decades they have told us that there are no coin hoards held in US vaults. It seems they...

The last wheat back cent was minted in 1958 and collectors have been pulling them out of circulation ever since. So you don't find them in your...

The blunt 9 is considered to be a variety from a different die, nobody knows how many were struck. But since the population numbers are very low,...
As Charlie said - it might be worth a couple of dollars. I doubt it would be worth $5.
Here are the ANA grading criteria for F12 and for VF20 - you decide which one applies most closely. F12 - Obverse Some details show in the...
