VG strike through. I'll have to agree that the eye appeal isn't great, but for $23 it's a great buy.

Thanks for the comments. ANACS called it a lamination, are they wrong? Am not that familiar with strike through vs a lamination. Will post the grade tomorrow am.

Agree completely with @numismaticstudent. The smooth edges of the indent do suggest a strike-through rather than a lamination. As to the grade, regardless of the horn, the date is really only 80% visible or so. Personally, I would grade it G-06, and worth less than G-06 money given its disfigured appearance.

Personally, I would grade it G-06, I agree with Mr Frog - horn looks 08 but then you have a badly worn date that would get 04 if you are lucky. G06 on a good day - forget the strike through, even more to lessen the eye appeal. Edited by Mark1959

With all the wear, couldn't it be a lamination worn smooth? It doesn't really matter to me either way, lamination or strike through, they're both mint errors, just asking the question.

Sorry Ed , I jumped too fast and called it damage instead of an easy strike through . also changing grade to G-06/VG-8.  |

It's not inconceivable, but with the feature being so nicely regular and smooth throughout, I'd call it 95-5 in favor of strikethrough. You can never be sure, almost 100 years after the fact. |

F-12 for me, and my first thought was a strikethrough (though I do not have much experience with errors).

Over graded with the VF for sure. Not sure why TPGs do that with details coins, I see it a lot with all of the top 3.  |

Wow. That's....optimistic. I was "market grading" (a euphemism for what I feel to be normal TPG overgrading) at F12. That generation of blue slabs is not going to be remembered as ANACS' best.  |

Buy the coin, not the holder. Slabbed coins no longer guarantee what you are getting. Slabs were suppose to make sight unseen trading of coins. Without a photo, no way would I buy a slabbed coin over the internet.

Doh! I disagree on lamination, grade and even maybe cleaned.
I think it's a strike through after others have suggested, take back my details, and I'll stick with VG10.
When they grade coins do they sometimes use 3rd graders?
