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.

A keeper, 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?

You bet I do!
It’s a classic!
How???

That would just be one more bit of damage to note
Great thread!
