Found this roll hunting. The amount of detail in Jeff's hair makes me think this wasn't a traditional low ball coin, but was mechanically ground down to look like this. Does this still qualify as a lowball coin, or is it too mechanically "dehanced" to qualify?

Coins that were mechanically ground would get details grades from the TPGs. I agree with you something seems to have been done to that one since that one spot is kind of untouched.

On the bright side though you could use it as a pocket piece and wear that high point down which could save it from a details grade

What does the reverse look like? Does it have the same worn on the edge, not it the middle, pattern?

A picture would be great.

I wonder if it was intentional?
