<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 3645813, member: 105098&quot;]That would be known as an impaired proof coin. It would grade likely in a proof 58 range I&#039;d thinkcomparable to AU58, maybe down to 55. Now you may ask &quot;why don&#039;t I ever see proof 58 or PR55?&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Because it&#039;s pretty valueless on the secondary market. It&#039;s fun to find a proof in circulation and makes a nice hole filler but with that much damage no collector of proof coins will want to buy it above face value. It&#039;s lost its proof collector value. It doesn&#039;t classify as MS or AU at all, it&#039;s a proof. Generally below PR60 nobody even bothers with grading anymore and just calls it an impaired proof coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
