collector.detector Pillar of the Community United States 505 Posts	Posted 02/10/2022 11:30 am I saw this coin for sale on ebay. Does anyone know if this is a defective planchet? If so, do you think it would straight grade at PCGS? Thanks in advance Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/10/2022 11:34 am It is a real error, but as for value, no clue from me. I'd not have it graded and slabbed. The error is obvious and it takes a $50 hit from PCGS, that you won't get back when you sell the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2973 Posts	Posted 02/10/2022 11:53 am Doesn't error-ref.com call this a Blowhole defective planchet? This is a nice error, and I would lean maybe on getting it slabbed as such . Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 98963 Posts	Posted 02/10/2022 11:54 am WOW! nice busted up Planchet! If it were mine, I would send it in. For comparison: https://www.ebay.com/itm/234307627975 that one is selling for $400.00.. Now, that being said - what will it actually sell for? Collecting since 1972.

collector.detector Pillar of the Community United States 505 Posts	Posted 02/10/2022 3:28 pm Thanks all. The seller is asking $150 or best offer and I was looking at it as a possible opportunity to get graded and resell for a profit. I think that it is too risky. Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 02/11/2022 02:59 am Is nice, but before buy I will do a test of the place. An simple plasma pen can do something like this. We see some similar, not exact this case. Report this Post to the Staff
