Dkillett Valued Member United States 140 Posts	Posted 09/10/2010 07:31 am I recently purchased this coin on ebay. I tried searching on NGC's website and am a bit confused. Will they grade this coin as a mint error? Report this Post to the Staff

Dkillett Valued Member United States 140 Posts	Posted 09/10/2010 2:22 pm It's not glue or residue, there is metal missing from the coin in the areas that appear brown. Report this Post to the Staff

wheatguy Pillar of the Community United States 1534 Posts	Posted 09/11/2010 11:17 am Not worth sending in IMO, and to me it's PMD, based on the opinions of the others who posted here. (I know pretty close to zero when it comes to errors). Report this Post to the Staff
Dkillett Valued Member United States 140 Posts	Posted 09/13/2010 6:14 pm Ok, I will be the first to admit I was wrong. I really believed the coin had a lamination. Upon very close inspection with different lighting and better magnification it does appear to be something stuck to the coin. Thanks for all the helpful replies. Report this Post to the Staff

Also nice that the guy has decided to refund your money. That's how you keep a good rating. IMO Report this Post to the Staff
