I even called it a hammer job and jumped on the ebay seller that had this coin. when I first received it out of the mail I was about totally convinced it was a rare dropped filling coin like I collect and never did examine the reverse side of it because of this for about a week. If there was some way for you to see this coin I would almost bet my life you would agree with me that ICG has it labeled correctly. I know it's highly unusal looking but it absolutely has none of the signs of a hammer job whatsoever. there are so many things that screams it is a mint error and it would take me all night to describe it. thanks Mike for the reply and I hope we can remain friends. we have had our disagreements in the past but how many coin folks don't .If we agreed on everything it would be a boring world.
