<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bugo, post: 2470041, member: 53226&quot;]I saw this on ebay a while back and after laughing for about 5 minutes, I had to have it and $3.99 later it was mine. It makes me wonder why somebody would send it in for grading. It isn&#039;t rare, it isn&#039;t that old, it isn&#039;t special, it isn&#039;t silver, it isn&#039;t worth any premium over face value, it isn&#039;t in good shape. Did somebody put the wrong coin in the mail? Was an entire collection graded at once and this one slipped through? Was it graded as a joke? Did this particular coin have sentimental meaning to anybody? Seeing an abomination like this is like when I see an old car from the 60s with really weird options (back then, instead of &quot;packages&quot; you could pick and choose which individual options you wanted. It must have been splendid) and wonder what kind of a madman would order a 3 on the tree in an otherwise completely loaded Caprice or air conditioning on an otherwise stripped Biscayne. What was the guy who ordered the green car with a red interior thinking? What kind of a numbskull sends F12 1953 nickels to IGC for grading?</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u126/bugo348/IMG_5228_zpsv4x5k241.jpg?t=1468580836" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u126/bugo348/IMG_5230_zpsngofvltd.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u126/bugo348/IMG_5235_zpshluvai4u.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
