This is the way I understand it. The night watchman and his lady were having a few drinks. At some point in the evening he decided to show her how big the press was. They started playing around. Several dies were damaged that evening. I think the watchman's uncle ran the mint so he got off with just got a warning about being safe. That's the story I was told.

 

The coin is a bit dark. That may have held it back.

 

I can't believe I was the closest, but still missed it.

 

I missed this one and the Ike by going high. I'm shocked, I'm usually under. They both look really nice for the grades though. I award them the Kirkuleez green bean.

 

I've seen quits a few old white anacs holders that were very under graded. Cracked out a xf 40 seated quarter and it went pcgs 53

 

That's a "cherry pick" in and of itself at that grade. Look at the ones for the MS money on Heritage. This one's strike is going to give every one of those a run for their money. Needless to say, I think this is a great buy at EF45.

 

Yup. they undergrade coins too.
