tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6120 Posts	Posted 08/25/2021 9:46 pm While out buying a fair-sized lot of error coins the other day, I found this one in the mix. More expensive by a lot than the other stuff I bought, but I liked it as it's pre-1900 and in better condition than most of these I've seen. I am calling it an off center, not a broadstrike, as parts of the 1 and 8 are missing. This seems like the right call here, but opinions welcome. Also, I haven't a clue about grading Indians, but looks like at least a solid XF based on the rather mild amount of wear. Agree? Report this Post to the Staff
