Well there's something you don't see everyday.

Very cool, low mintage, double error. If it were my coin, I'd seriously consider reslabbing it, as Mr. Frog mentioned.... something you don't see everyday.

Very cool but should have left it slabbed. Unless of course your plan is to send it to a major TPGr.

I will be getting this one rehabbed. I have to wonder how it survived this long. Surely it couldn't have been in circulation!
Thanks to all for checking it out.

Resurrecting this post of mine from the past. As stated, I sent this to PCGS expecting the grade it received. However,I was not expecting the split after strike to be labeled as "Damaged". Is this incompetence or what. I was so POed I just tossed it in a drawer. I just ran across it again while getting some coins to send off to ANACS. Perhaps I will add this one in the shipment for reordering to designate the error. PCGS is definitely not the right choice for error coins. What are your thoughts on this?   |

I understand the frustration here. But my first thought when I saw the pics was, with the damage all around it, how could it have gotten a problem free grade and how could they be certain it was split after strike. I just don't think they could be sure.

I agree that it is a split planchet, but the edge looks damaged, not caused by the split.
I do wonder if the split was forced and as a direct result of the edge damage. Hence, it circulated for a while before the split. Just an amateur speculation on my part.
Just curious, if it was straight graded by PCGS, what are we talking value wise?

Just curious, if it was straight graded by PCGS, what are we talking value wise My thoughts are that it did indeed circulated a good while before the split gave way yet someone held on to it apparently for many years resulting in the edges being slightly damaged. The lack of striations that remained were as well worn smooth over time. It just amazes me that it survived for 220 yrs at all. As the holder indicates Detail I assume that to be a result of the "Damage". Not straight graded. Indicates Not Gradable on back of holder. As far as value, my guess would be about the same as a parking lot coin with this lable. Now if the other half was with it, that would be another story. |
