The US Mint has been cancelling patterns like the following.
It would be great if PCGS and CAC straight-graded these.

Not sure how they would grade such coins, however, they do grade error coins - so should be considered. Cheers, RickO
I'm pretty sure that both services won't ever
'grade' Waffles.....but they've changed their
minds/positions before........

I didn't think they would either...
until I saw Judd-269.
Yea, but J-269 is more like classy French Toast
than are the Modern Waffles !

There are plenty of waffle cancelled coins in both PCGS and NGC holders currently on eBay, but not with grades other than "Brilliant Uncirculated." PCGS uses the no-grade code 89 for these. This isn't shown on their list of no-grade codes, so maybe it's a "not really a grade" code.
