In my opinion no as this isn't even an error but die wear.

I've seen a few of these in slabs, and it amazes me every time. This should not be considered an error. It's just a product of die wear. .

I guess I would ask: is this due to die wear, as I thought, or is this caused by a plating issue as PCGS suggests?

Ridge ring, just die wear. Hard to believe someone would spend the money to slab this.

I've always considered Die Deterioration a type of die damage and not a striking error or die error. Great news   , now we have to start collecting damaged die "varieties", since many can be produced, even as the damage progresses. No thanks.  Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

This is ridiculous.
Not only is it just extremely common and worthless, it's not even a plating error like the say on the slab.
ALSO IT'S GRADED MS?!

Well they will slab a few and then stop listing these. (That is what happened on the 1969-D FS-901 listings) After someone slabs it, then sells off, and the buyer get stuck with a slab that is not a real collectable coin, the original seller is the only one who comes out ahead.

@Coop The 1969 FS-901 was previously a CherryPickers' Guide variety, a large number of collectors regarded it as a collectible variety. It is understandable that PCGS would slab them up until it was removed from the book. This Ridge Ring coin being slabbed by PCGS is unprecedented. PCGS should understand that this isn't really an error and no collectors believe otherwise. |

Quote:This Ridge Ring coin being slabbed by PCGS is unprecedented. PCGS should understand that this isn't really an error and no collectors believe otherwise. So true T-man and I agree with you. But.... technically, Error-ref does desrcibe it as an error in Coop's link, even though it really is die damage from Die Deterioration. PCGS will only attribute CPG varieties but will evidently attribute trash "errors" if they can collect their fees. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.

I know, still "technically" an error. But Die Deterioration is more of a die state, as some call it, as every die will eventually show some form of Die Deterioration at some point. |

PCGS seems to be calling this a plating error, not a Ridge Ring from Die Deterioration, based off the description of the error; "Minor Obv Plating Ridge" I'm curious to see what it looks like in hand because based off that description there should be something the delineates it from a standard Ridge Ring. |
