Alright, so I was a little shocked that this coin came back with a net grade... but what can I say? I'm not a grader...
A run-through of the damage in detail:
CORRODED- actually, i didn't do that... must be from the big fire i placed the coin in to AT it...
HOLED- Nail + hammer + many bangs
DAMAGED- uhh... duh?
TOOLED- The lines on the shiled are sharp as ever
GRAFFITI- I signed the coin... it says "JK '03"
BENT- Pliers and some fun
Jeremy
Oh- and the coin is also, not noted, AT, Cleaned (how I got it), Scratched, Rim Damage
my local BM would describe as "Other than that a nice rare wholesome original skin coin"

Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
<< <i>Very interesting... but when does the film make its debut?
I write and capture stills... not movies.
This one is worthy of a thread resurrection, eighteen years after the fact. It still makes me chuckle.
@airplanenut - still have that thing?
I thought of it when I saw The Cricket on GC. PCGS missed the opportunity to have some fun with the label on that one, if you ask me.

So it was Marcovan that went digging, figures. Didn’t even need a metal detector this time. It’s a gem for the grade. 🤪🤪💨💨💨💨💨💨
Might I suggest the ANA Summer Seminar class on Hobo Nickel carving?

Yeah, that will buff out.
