You'll be singing a different song when I get it back from PCGS! Have a great weekend, everyone!

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24882 Posts	Posted 05/05/2023 5:59 pm Thank you, nss! Actually post count is something that I don't really pay attention to. As stated in a certain Talking Heads song, "When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed. Say something once, why say it again?".

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 05/05/2023 9:14 pm Rare? Yes. - I have never seen anything like it before. Tampered with post Mint? - I think most probably a qualified 'yes'. Supporting evidence for this theory is the thickened rims mid way along the straight sections. The high points in these areas long since worn down, - most probably deliberately. Circulation coins produced by a mint do not show this 'thickened' feature. I would love to see what PCGS has to say, and to be proven wrong. Is it possible to provide an independently provable provenance? A poor man's Pan Pac Half Union. Report this Post to the Staff
