moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 03/08/2016 12:31 pm I'm sorry, even knowing the low mintage on this and it having only the lightest circulation but I just can't like this one. Even if that is a strike through, which it probably is, that defaced face would haunt me. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 03/08/2016 4:30 pm Must agree. Too bad. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinCollector2012 Pillar of the Community United States 8137 Posts	Posted 03/08/2016 6:58 pm I agree as well. It would be a really nice coin without the damage. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18741 Posts	Posted 03/08/2016 9:04 pm I cant get into it either. I would call it AU58 also but it would drive me nuts having to look at it Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 03/08/2016 10:15 pm I would suggest die rust, not strike-through errors, are the source of this coin's surface defects. Wear grade-wise, EAC 45 sharpness; TPG AU58. It would not merit a "details" designator as the damage is likely either a mint error as posited by Mr. Fivaz or my opinion (of a rusted die pair) Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D.

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36906 Posts	Posted 03/09/2016 09:50 am AU-55 but like the others said, poor eye appeal. Report this Post to the Staff
TJsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 3229 Posts	Posted 03/09/2016 10:08 am AU details. I am seeing both strike through and damage. An iteresting coin that that has a lot to teach, IMO. Maybe not the prettiest but dramatic strike through errors are still cool in my book. Report this Post to the Staff
