I guess this is the first time you could actually say that this coin had some serious "pins and needles"  |

Oh it's AU50 everywhere except 75% of the obverse.

I just realized this was graded and in a holder. Seriously, how could a TPG put an AU grade on this coin? That is absolutely ridiculous. A perfect example of why TPG are overrated. They're just as bad as the counterfeit producers/ sellers. |

Stupid price aside, I'm amazed to see it in a holder.

Found its long lost cousin in the buried ccf boards...  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

As a filler, it is certainly worth melt. Maybe even $10 but not $418.
A dealer once sold me a US 1/2 cent that might have been VF but had been holed.. for $1. I was OK paying that.

I would probably pay $20, just so I could fill my hole.

Normal protocol for details coins on ebay seems to be to price it like there is nothing wrong with it and then wonder why it doesn't sell. |

How could that be graded as "AU-50"  |

Update: Unsold, the dealer re-listed the zombie overdate--now for $445! Reality check--Heritage sold a problem-free XF45 on 2.19.17 for the same price. 142308960244Edited by Thulium
