I purchased this coin a few years ago. I have showed it to a few avid coin collectors and they have suggested I crack it out and resubmit it for grading. It is graded by ANACS as an AU DETAILS NET EF40 GRAFFITI-Cleaned. The graffiti must be the scratch marks. The S in STATES is also a bit of a mint error. What would you do if it was your coin?? Sorry but it is tough to get a good pic through the plastic.
Those don't look like ramdom scratches, it looks like graffiti. I can't tell about the cleaning though, there is a lot of nice color on her. The only grading company with a good reputation that will grade that coin is ANACS. If she was mine, I'd leave her where she is. I think she has personality and I like her!! Thanks for sharing.
no matter what you do that coin is going to come back to you with the grafitti and cleaned labels, so breaking it out wouldn´t do you any good. Leave it as is.
shouldn't that be bust half DIME? In any case,I didn't even know they existed until now..is it silver? I need one now..LOL Edit: after looking at prices $40-50 for common date VG-F..Yikes!
Hello, Yes they are silver and it is not a half cent. You are right it a half dime. I did not even notice I put half cent until now. Thanks. These are small coins about 15.5 mm. Thant is 1.5 mm larger than a silver 3 cent piece. I bought this one pretty cheap. Thanks for looking.
