from obverse picture maybe vg 8- vg 10. Unless the reverse is gem UNC I can not see this coin being that high of a grade. Do you own the coin?

Coin is on ebay now-not mine---the reverse has extreme wear with the 5 in 1858 just barely visable. I shake my head again!

First I thought TAMPERING!----then I realized it is a case of a TPG mistake--put the wrong coin into this holder-----Case solved.

Be sure to buy the coin ---not the grade!!!

VG10 and it's at $102.50 already.
Maybe the new owner can take advantage of ICCS' guarantee.

Haha I picked up my F-15 1858 20 cent for $90. This is just brutal.
