A second opinion resubmission might down grade it to 69, but not in the slab I don't think. it should remain as a 70, it is as struck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 8151308, member: 105098"]jeez guys, I'm no expert and will never claim to be but this looks like a struck through rim burr, and also an attached rim burr. definitely a burr though. some call it rim finning, but it's shaved off not pushed up additional material. POSSIBLY, the south end of the burr is laying on the surface of the coin from encapsulation and not struck in,,,,, I think it's an amazing example though of a large burr. Again I'm not an expert but yes, clearly they missed it somehow. if it's not struck in, then maybe it happened on ejection, if it's partially struck in it would have happened from the feeder fingers. Id call it attached large rim burrs, possibly struck through rim burr near the 6 o'clock position, but that would take opening the encapsulation to determine if it is struck into the coin also, And I'd probably send it back to the grading company for that determination to be made, and either have it as large attached rim burr, or attached rim burr, struck in rim burr, however it turns out. either way keep it intact if you want the grade to stick.
