This may take the cake for most overgraded coin on Ebay (not including the ms67 jokes).

Seller says this is a "solid XF"

Holy Cow!! Where's half the coin's details!!image

    Half the coin is XF, the rest who knows.

    Actually, I'd like for eagle eye to 'pipe in' on this one...looks like a mint error of some sort...

    There's actually chance it could actually be an XF if...
    1. It were original (looks cleaned)

    However, the coin does have a horrible strike as with many FEs (though I must admit, this one's a little bit weaker than most)

    struck thru grease filled die.

    The coin actually does have VF/XF details, but has been cleaned.
