Taking a good image through the plastic on the slab is difficult for some people.
There is NO way to be able to make an accurate grade on these images as they are badly focused and there are no images on the cert look up.
Ask the seller to send you some images that ARE in focus and you will be able to make a better assessment of this coin.
It is not that often that PCGS over grade a coin.

Looks VG-10 to me. Not sure what the graders were thinking with this one.

Wow, Doesn't look EF to me but, one should always have the coin in hand to know for sure, could be a weak strike.... a very weak strike..  |

The rim looks weak at the date. No letters in LIBERTY are visible. Horizontal lines on the shield look blended. Based on these images I'm with IndianGold at VG.  |

No way am I seeing an EF-45 coin, looks more like VG.

I don't know how anyone can claim to be able to know the grade with those photos.

trout1105 , You might be right in some cases pertaining to photos taken through slabs . but come on, there is nothing cloudy or shady with these photos of said coin. I'm with most members on a low grade.  |

These are scans and not photos but I think they are clear enough to tell this coin is a long way away from EF-45.   |

PCGS overgrades coins an awful lot in my opinion. There is no way this is anywhere near the assigned grade.

Label error/data entry error, in my opinion, not a deliberate overgrade.

It's called a mistake. Human error. Clearly got into the wrong holder or there was a typo. It happens folks.

Yesterday I was on my Kindle when I looked at this, and I just wasn't able to bring the photo up enough to see it clearly. Thus, I thought folks that were calling it VG were nuts.
Today I looked at it again on my computer and I must agree, I was wrong. That thing isn't even a decent example of the date, let alone a XF. Maybe a VG as was mentioned.
I'm guessing this was simply put in the wrong holder. It's rare, but it does happen. If nothing else it gives us something to talk about, although I think there are far more examples of properly graded coins that the few errors that can be found.
