Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1791 Posts	Posted 05/20/2024 7:39 pm Saw this and first thing I thought is "is this real?" Its listed as a planchett error with no weight given. There doesn't appear to be any reading from the images shown but no pics of the edge. Report this Post to the Staff

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10484 Posts	Posted 05/20/2024 10:28 pm Right - impossible to go through a minting press and not be struck both sides with that weak skinny rim. Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 05/20/2024 10:46 pm Reverse has been sanded down with something like a bench grinder. You can see faint traces of the original design towards the outermost edges.

Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1791 Posts	Posted 05/21/2024 02:54 am I watch estate auctions and am finding that several don't verify coins they list. It makes me leery about any high value coins from those sellers. They would pass on fakes without realizing it. Sent the seller a message.

Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1791 Posts	Posted 05/22/2024 5:04 pm I guess the seller agreed that this was an abraded coin. It was removed from the auction. Report this Post to the Staff
