Just found this when searching for another one for my collection....Curious as to why they would grade it as such

Not a mistake.The LCW wore off over a hundred years ago ;)

That coin is overpriced by about $1250.It's barely worth what the seller is charging for shipping.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

if anyone knows the series the NO LCW does not have the Shamrock at the front of the crown..This coin clearly has it..So to call is an 1870 NO LCW is a mistake.......It is an 1870 LCW which DBM states is worn off.....It is a wrong attribution on their part and some poor collector who does not know this will buy it thinking they got a Rare coin
