one_fine_dime Pillar of the Community United States 591 Posts	Posted 01/10/2019 11:12 pm Came across this one, incredible that it made MS64! Obv, a big swath of curls merged together; reverse has a large segment of sticks missing AND the central bands (of "full split bands" fame) look to be completely MISSING!! Is this some kind of error coin? Very wild looking. 132903149764 Report this Post to the Staff

macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5838 Posts	Posted 01/11/2019 12:03 am Weak strike and/or worn die, the center band completely gone, not worthy to be in a 64 holder. It doesn't have the appearance that some object obstruct from striking at the fasces area. Report this Post to the Staff

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 01/11/2019 08:48 am I know the Fasces on reverse is not wear but I would not buy this coin as a 64 . Everything else on this coin is nice and struck up . But the focal point of reverse is dead . Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 01/11/2019 10:52 am By their standards I can see how it got a 64. Whether you would be willing to pay 64 money for it is another matter. Report this Post to the Staff
