    Maybe someone might want it as a grading test slab?

    Or a gag gift???????????????????

    My question would be: Why would anyone want to buy this coin?

    You can literally go to the bank and get a roll of nickels and get 10 or so that look better then this.

    Because it looked MS. Happens all the time with older coins. Just doesn't have the side effects as them.

    It isn't that old, only 11 years....

    I think it's neat that someone took the time to slab this coin! I may even bid on it. Sometimes ( most times?) we take this game way too serious.

    I would think because it is for a grading set?

    I was trying to put together a grading set of 1971-D IKE dollars once. I am currently working on putting together a grading set of 1979-P Wide Rim SBA dollars. Almost there, too. image

    I have gotten into doing grading sets, too.
    It seems foolish, but when you have a whole line of slabs, in grade increments, it's really very nice...image

    It is likely they submitted the coin thinking it was MS and did not notice the rub. I have one or two suprises like that. I keep them around as a symbol of a hard lesson learned.

    It probably came from a bank roll, and PCGS mistook the cheack rub for wear.

    The coin in the auction may have the excuse that the submitter thought it was MS, but I'd sure like to know the thought process for whomever submitted this one:
