Looks like the lawnmower may have found this one for the seller. I think I'd look elsewhere for mine.

With this sort of damage, market value perhaps 10% of catalog value for grade, if genuine.

That is two now I have seen absolutely mutilated. It's sad. Now I know there are still at least 483,998 good ones out there.

In my opinion someone would have to be a complete moron to pay over $500 for this mutilated coin .

Interestingly enough it brought $384 on Heritage Auctions last March. $384 sounds high to me, too high.

It's actually an interesting (but expensive) conversation piece. I wonder what caused that damage. Blender? Garbage disposal?

Lol, I wouldn't pay that much for that coin. It's what I call a junk coin.

In all seriousness....
I could imagine that being intentional damage. Anger towards the one-time owner perhaps?

Might be intentional, but it also looks like it circulated for quite some time after the damage was done, perhaps a hundred years ago. Guess that makes a blender or garbage disposal unlikely....
