Post a rare coin that really isn’t.

This is the rare 1913-s type two extra large date with pica mintmark.

For those who collect rare PO 1 coins...

@WaterSport - That really is a odd label for that coin.

What's odd to me is that someone spent money to get it graded in the first place, Lol

I don't understand the "fine" details thing. It's obviously damaged and bent. To much meat on the coin for a PO1. That center looks like some kind of planchet error. I may have had it graded just for that, even though it's damaged.

This variety is called, "Buffalo standing on a pile of S...."

In the early days of Detail grading (using this coin as an example), a coin label would show the "Non-Detailed Grade", FINE in this case, and then the "Net Grade" which would be how it should be valued. In other words, this coin has FINE details but is valued as a PO-01.

REALLY? Okay, that works for me. Thanks for that history lesson.

What's your opinion on the crack in the center of that coin?

By the description on the label it's apparently PMD.

We just need the 1914 now. Too bad that there isn't a 1924 to alter.

I know but you just can't trust those labels. 🤣 😉

Doesn't this thing look like some kinda planchet flaw?

I'd need to see the reverse and a clearer photo to say for sure, but there doesn't seem to be any metal flow towards the "hole".

@WaterSport - Do you have a reverse of that 1852 cent?

Admittedly, I’m probably putting a different spin on the OP’s premise. Below is an example that is generally considered as rare due to its mintage. In reality, though, it’s available & easy to obtain:

Not just in 65+, but any grade for the 1885-CC GSA. All are common.

Here are some more Morgans that may be considered rare due to their mintage. In reality, though, they're available & easy to obtain:
