A short time ago I bought an 1861 3 cent silver piece from a friend that has a rotated reverse of 180 degrees otherwise known as medallic alignment. It was a raw coin and I sent it off to NGC for grading and attribution of the error. The coin is a solid AU coin showing virtually no wear and to my surprise NGC slabbed it an XF-45. I showed the coin to my coin club president who had worked as a professional grader and he said it should have been labeled an AU-50.

ANA LM-3175 They told (us) to open up the Embassy, or "we'll blow you away." And then they looked up and saw the Marines on the roof with these really big guns, and they said in Somali, "Igaralli ahow," which means "Excuse me, I didn't mean it, my mistake".
