Part way.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the grade, error coins wear differently from normally struck coins.&nbsp; The ribbon and lower hair curls are high points of the coin when normally struck.&nbsp; When over half of the coin suddenly has very low relief due to an indent, there is absolutely nothing the protect the high points from wear, so the coin will wear much faster than normal here, while not wearing at all in the indent.&nbsp; Since error coins are all unique, however, there is no way to standardize the amount of wear based on detail visible in a specific place.&nbsp; The reverse, however, is somewhat normal, so that&#039;s a better place to give the detail a grade, which seems solid XF from here, considering the double strike messes things up a bit.&nbsp; What bothers me the most is the green crud.&nbsp; That stuff has got to go.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
