Have the grading standards for Full Heads changed that much?

    Give him a break... he's talking about the bird!
    Give Blood (Red Bags) & Platelets (Yellow Bags)!

    Emailed the seller about possible "overgrade" explained my reasoning kindly/politely...

    His response:

    DO NOT BUY THIS COIN! It says you judge you grade so you are right. I have
    about 1000 more coins to list Soooooo have a nice night.

    I doesn't say Full Head anywhere. The coin is FH though, Flat Head.

    So, only ill-informed and non-judgemental may bid...................Must have been a shepard in his previous life.

    Actually the collector is right on! He just missed correctly naming the full designation this coin is known by. It really should be a UFHWCT. Yes...a most prized condition indeed. The Ultra Flat Head With Crappy Toning. Oh so rare. This particular coin is one of only 6 that were taken clandestinely by mint employees and the head artistically flattened with a ball peen hammer. Ingenius!! In addition these coins were dropped in a latrine to age just so. Wow - how did this astute collector get his hands on one?

    Make way - I am laying down a big fat bid! image

    That SLQ has a full head like I have a full head of hair. The description is so bogus it even exceeds my sense of outrage. Bear

    It's a Full Head because the head is fully outlined and not worn into the field.
