That said, I do have another update about this coin. I have to say, this has been a true rollercoaster of an experience. I'm going to walk through the timeline of what has occurred since my last post: 1. ANACS QA dept. takes another look at the coin. They do change their assessment of the coin but shockingly it's changed from struck through a capped die to "damaged ground down" 2. The coin arrives at my LCS and the shop owner who has 30+ years of experience and who worked at Heritage for over a decade says the coin definitely isn't ground down. He offers to speak with ANACS and provide his assessment. 3. ANACS reviews the coin for a 3rd time and sticks to their 2nd assessment of the coin being ground down. ANACS calls me with the results but says the coin is interesting and that they're open to continuing the discussion. ANACS refers me over to Jon Sullivan of Sullivan Numismatics to get another opinion on the coin. 4. Jon reviews the images from this thread and agrees with ANACS stating he is 99.99% sure that the coin is just damaged and that it was buffed down. So that's where things currently stand. Jon Sullivan and ANACS say the coin is simply PMD while Mike Diamond, the LCS industry expert, and others in this thread say it's a legitimate mint error. To be honest, I'm not 100% sure where to go from here. I will certainly be holding onto the coin but I'm not sure if I should try to get additional input from other industry experts or if I've simply hit a bit of a brick wall and I should accept the PMD explanation. I know I have farrr less experience than Jon and the team at ANACS but I'm just struggling to see the signs of PMD. Thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff
Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 09/15/2022 8:43 pm Imo this coin does look odd especially in the western field (really flat). That being said there is more than one kind of capped die strike. I'm not counting yours out but if I were you I would look closely at the coin and try to see what they saw. Could your coin be slightly out of round? Underweight? Bent? Micro hairlines? Edited by Willburton 09/15/2022 8:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff
