<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Evan8, post: 3583892, member: 74343&quot;]It&#039;s struck steel with a portion being struck from Lincoln cent dies, while a majority portion remains a &quot;screwed up&quot; screw. I believe they grade the portion that is struck. A technical grade if you will. I guess that, that particular section of Lincoln&#039;s head is comparative to other MS64 examples but this one was exceptional given the plus lol....</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>ANACS gave this example a (I suppose) technical grade of MS60. Old ANACS struck fragment with brockage.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]956548[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Pieces like mine above are given grades all the time. Why is it a shock when strikes occur on screws or nails, that it should be questionable. The origin is questionable? Yes. But struck fragments with less details are not? </p><p><br /></p><p>Who cares about the grade anyways? No one is building competitive set registries of mint struck screws and nails. Just be happy they are legit from the mint according to PCGS anyways. I&#039;m sure there are plenty who question this pieces authenticity even with the slab. The grade is just the joke lol.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
