Nelrak Pillar of the Community United States 974 Posts	Posted 07/17/2008 01:24 am This coin was first tossed over in the Error Forum to get some insight about the AMERICA on this coin. You can read about it here: https://goccf.com/t/32985. I find these tough to grade. I have looked at probably over 100 of these in the past few months and to me this has less wear than most and appears to be a very original coin to me! Now I would like to know what you all think about the grade? Image Insert: Image Insert: Report this Post to the Staff

biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 07/17/2008 03:22 am I'd call it VF. I first thought it was grease on the dies, but with the right leaves being weak as well, I would guess the planchet was thin in that area. The green suggests PVC. I would boil it in acetone.

Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3234 Posts	Posted 07/17/2008 1:54 pm This does look like it could use some acetone. I can't tell if there's any rub, so it might be a low grade Mint State based on level of luster. Report this Post to the Staff
